This test method is a standardized analytical procedure for the quantitative determination of minerals in water samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The method is widely employed for monitoring metal contaminants in drinking water, surface water, groundwater, and wastewater. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, phosphorus (as P2O5),… Continue reading Minerals [Water] ICPOES
This test method is used to evaluate the purity and quality of oils, particularly in the food, feed, and biofuel industries. MIU refers to the measurement of three non-fat components commonly present in oils and fats: moisture (M), insolubles (I), and unsaponifiables (U). High levels of MIU can indicate contamination, degradation, or poor refining processes.… Continue reading MIU [Karl Fischer]

This method provides reliable analysis of essential nutrients and potential contaminants in complex biological matrices. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium,… Continue reading Minerals [Feed] from Microwave
This test method is a validated procedure for the quantitative analysis of multiple metals and elements using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). This method enables accurate determination of both essential nutrients and potential contaminants in complex biological samples. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, phosphorus (as P2O5), potassium, potassium… Continue reading Minerals [Manure]
This test method is a standardized method for the analysis of meat samples for mineral and trace element analysis using microwave-assisted acid digestion. This process effectively breaks down the complex organic matrix of meat, converting it into a clear solution suitable for instrumental analysis. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium,… Continue reading Minerals [Meat]
This test method is a standardized procedure for the determination of multiple minerals in environmental samples, including sludge, soils, sediments, and solid wastes, using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, phosphorus (as P2O5), potassium, potassium (as K2O), sodium, sulfur, and zinc.
This test method is a standard test method for the quantitative determination of up to 22 metals in oils using ICP-MS technology. The method is widely used for monitoring contaminants in oils.
This test method determines the color of oils and other transparent liquids by comparing samples to calibrated Lovibond® or Gardner liquid standards, providing a standardized visual evaluation of red/yellow (RYBN) tint and overall Gardner color to ensure consistent color grading across batches.
This test method is a validated rapid detection method for the qualitative identification of Listeria species, including but not limited to Listeria monocytogenes, in food and environmental samples. It is approved through the AOAC Performance Tested Methods (PTM) program, ensuring it meets rigorous criteria for sensitivity, specificity, and reliability when compared to traditional reference methods.
This test method is a rapid molecular detection method validated for the qualitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food and environmental samples. This method was evaluated and approved under the AOAC Performance Tested Methods program, confirming its reliability and equivalence to reference culture-based methods.
