This test method is an official U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) procedure for the determination of metals and trace elements in a variety of water and waste samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). This test method quantifies soluble calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur, and zinc.
This test method is an official method for the quantitative determination of multiple metals and elements in plant materials and pet foods using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) post-microwave digestion. 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 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 is a rapid and sensitive technique for detecting melamine—a contaminant associated with serious pet food and animal feed safety incidents. The testing was prompted by widespread animal illness and fatalities caused by melamine-cyanuric acid crystal formation in the kidneys of pets consuming adulterated food.
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.
This test method is a presumptive quantification of leuconostoc spp. in fermentation samples found within the ethanol production process.
This test method is a calculated value used to assess the scaling or corrosive tendency of water, particularly in water treatment, cooling systems, boilers, and municipal water supplies. It indicates whether water will precipitate, dissolve, or be in equilibrium with calcium carbonate (CaCO₃).
