Testing Methods
Flame Photometric
Detection – The herb sample is taken through a rigorous
pesticide extraction and concentration procedure. This concentrate
is then analyzed using the specific compound detector for organophosphates,
referencing against pure organophosphates reference samples.
Nitrogen
Phosphorus Detection - The herb sample is taken through a
rigorous pesticide extraction and concentration procedure. This
concentrate is then analyzed using the specific compound detector
for organonitrogen, referencing against pure organonitrogen reference
samples.
Electron
Capture Detection – The herb sample is taken through
a rigorous pesticide extraction and concentration procedure. This
concentrate is then analyzed using the specific compound detector
for organochloride, referencing against pure organochloride reference
samples.
High Performance
Liquid Chromatography - The herb sample is taken through
a rigorous pesticide extraction and concentration procedure. This
concentrate is then analyzed using the specific compound detector
for N-Methyl Carbamate, referencing against pure N-Methyl Carbamate
reference samples.
Inductively
Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry – Inductively Coupled
Plasma-Mass Spectrometry is an inorganic analytical technology which
allows for rapid scanning, with low detection levels, and screens
for arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead.
Liquid Chromatography-Mass
Spectrometry - Liquid Chromatography-Mass is a confirmatory
method, for the analysis and quantitation of Aristolochic acids.
3M Petrifilm TPC - 3M Petrifilm Aerobic Count Plates are a sample-ready microbiological testing product removing the variability of human error in test preparation to produce consistent results in determining the total aerobic bacteria populations.
3M Petrifilm EC – 3M Petrifilm E. coli Count Plates are a sample-ready microbiological testing product removing the variability of human error in test preparation to produce consistent results in identifying the presence of both E. coli.
3M Petrifilm YM - 3M Petrifilm Yeast and Mold Count Plates are a sample-ready microbiological testing product removing the variability of human error in test preparation to produce consistent results in determining yeast and mold populations.
Baird Parker Agar – Baird Parker Agar is a selective medium for the detection and enumeration of coagulase-positive staphylococci from food samples. The medium allows growth of Staphylococcus aureus and selectively inhibits growth of most other bacteria.
XLD Agar – XLD Agar is a selective and differential medium for the isolation of pathogens from fecal and other specimens and is an excellent medium for isolating Salmonella species.
