12.09.2011
The American Oil Chemist Society (AOCS) publishes a list of approved laboratories.
LYSI has gained approval by the AOCS Laboratory Proficiency Program for its AOCS/GOED Omega-3 nutraceutical oils, marine oil and marine oil fatty acid profile.
The AOCS Laboratory Proficiency Program is the worlds most extensive and respected collaborative proficiency testing program for oil- and fat related commodities, oilseeds, oilseed meals and edible fats. More than 500 chemists participate to verify their lab’s quality control, which uses AOCS or similar methods for sample analysis and then compares its results with a large cross-section of other laboratories using same methods and samples.
The 84 laboratories approved by AOCS may be found on its home page (http://www.aocs.org/LabServices/content.cfm?ItemNumber=1070). Arnar Halldorsson, R&D Manager, heads LYSI’s laboratory.
