Samples are extracted and cleaned with QuEChERs. The extract is analyzed by LC-MS/MS.

Representative sample portion is diluted with buffer, homogenized, plated on Petrifilm™, incubated at 35°C for 22-24 hours, after which the plates are interpreted and results reported.

Samples are extracted into water. The extract is analyzed by GC-FID.

Samples are combusted at > 500° C. The residue mass is compared to the sample mass to calculate ash.

Representative sample portion is homogenized with highly selective enrichment media and incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, after which DNA is extracted and analyzed for the target pathogen.

Representative sample portion is diluted with buffer, homogenized, plated on selective agar, incubated at 30°C for 24 hours, after which the plates are interpreted and results reported.

Samples are extracted into boiling water. The extract is analyzed by HPLC-UV.

Samples are analyzed for proximates and calories are calculated by the 4-4-9 method. Additional considerations must be taken if the product contains alcohols/sugar alcohols or significant dietary fiber.

Samples are extracted into methanol or isopropanol. The extract is analyzed by HPLC-UV.

Samples are analyzed for proximates and carbohydrates are calculated by subtraction. Additional considerations must be taken if the product contains alcohols/sugar alcohols or significant dietary fiber.

Samples are saponified prior to extraction/concentration of cholesterol. The organic extract is subjected to derivatization and analyzed by gas chromatography.

This lateral flow test an an immunochromatographic rapid test for the qualitative detection of the specified allergen in foodstuffs, rinse waters, and Contact Swab. Samples are extracted, the extract is transfed to a vial containing allergen specific antibodies. A test-strip inserted into the vial and detects any allergen-antibody reactions by a color change.
