Sodium Absorption Ratio

This test method is a calculation that is a commonly used index in water and soil science that indicates the relative concentration of sodium (Na⁺) to calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) in water.

Salmonella [P/N] GDS

This test method is a rapid and reliable procedure for detecting Salmonella spp. in food, feed, and environmental samples. This method is valued for its speed, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting Salmonella in complex samples.

Sensory Evaluation R&D

This test method contains standardized guidelines for conducting sensory evaluation panels to assess and measure human responses to products, including food, beverages, and other materials.

Residual Hexane [Oil]

This test method is a procedure that uses headspace gas chromatography (GC) to detect and quantify residual hexane in vegetable oils that have been processed using solvent extraction.

Sieve Analysis [Feed]

This test method is a standardized method outlining procedures for sieve analysis to determine the particle size distribution of various materials. This test method ensures a consistent and reproducible approach to evaluating particle size.

Organic Nitrogen [Feed]

This test method is a calculation to determine organic nitrogen value from the crude protein/nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen values of animal feed and feed ingredients.

Organic Nitrogen [Manure]

This test method is a calculation to determine organic nitrogen value from the crude protein/nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen values of manure samples.

Organic Nitrogen [Water]

This test method is a standard method used to measure organic nitrogen concentrations in water and wastewater samples. Organic nitrogen refers to nitrogen bound within organic compounds, distinct from inorganic nitrogen forms like ammonia or nitrate.

Organic Impurities [Liquid Feed]

This test method follows FDA Table 2, which is a procedure used to identify and quantify organic impurities in fermentation products. This test involves a liquid extraction of feed samples prior to analysis.

Proof

This test method is a traditional and widely used technique to determine the proof (alcohol strength) of ethanol-based liquids by measuring their specific gravity (SG) or density.
