Fluoride dosage

Fluoride is a halogenated chemical element naturally present in groundwater, certain foods, and various industrial formulations. It is commonly used for its remineralizing properties (particularly in dental products) and its role in bone and dental health fluoride can be toxic, hence the need to precisely control its concentration in the products and matrices concerned.

Fluoride testing allows verification of regulatory compliance and ensures the safe use of water, food or technical formulations, particularly in the animal nutrition , cosmetics drinking water sectors .

Analytical methods: ionometry and spectrometry

Fluoride analysis is performed using two main approaches:

• Ionometry (selective ion electrode) : a fast and reliable method, ideal for the direct measurement of fluoride concentration in aqueous or liquid samples.
• Spectrometry : used for solid, technical or complex matrices requiring a prior mineralization step.

These methods guarantee accurate detection of fluoride, including at very low concentrations, and meet the requirements of ISO and AFNOR standards applicable to environmental and nutritional analyses.

Industrial and regulatory applications

Fluoride dosage is essential for quality monitoring and compliance in many areas:

• Drinking and spring water : control of fluoride content in accordance with European Directive 98/83/EC.
• Animal nutrition products : checking fluoride levels in minerals and formulations to avoid any risk of fluorosis.
• Cosmetics and dental care : control of concentrations in toothpastes, mouthwashes or fluoride gels.
• Dietary supplements and technical formulations : measurement of added or naturally occurring fluoride in mineral ingredients.

For a complete assessment, this service can be combined with sodium or calcium testing , which are often correlated in mineral and nutritional formulations.

Affected matrices

Our partner laboratories perform fluoride analysis on a wide variety of matrices:

• Drinking water, mineral water or well water
• Food and raw materials for animal nutrition
• Cosmetic and dental products
• Dietary supplements and technical formulations (liquid or solid)

Each protocol is adapted to the nature of the matrix and the expected concentration range , in order to ensure the reliability and conformity of the analysis results.
