Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL,
18th Edition current through 2nd Revision, 2008

Considered an essential laboratory resource by analytical scientists and laboratory managers worldwide, the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL (OMA), 18th Edition is the most comprehensive collection of validated analytical methods available anywhere. In it, you will find methods for food, beverage, agricultural, microbiological, pharmaceutical, and environmental analyses.

	Methods you can use with the utmost confidence—every AOAC® Official MethodSM has been tested for ruggedness and validated through a multi-laboratory collaborative study—a minimum 8 labs for quantitative methods and 10 labs for qualitative methods—undergone rigorous scrutiny by recognized experts, and met AOAC criteria;
	Methods preferred by regulators and the courts—AOAC® Official MethodsSM are cited in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, the Codex Alimentarius, and other regulatory codes around the world; they are also routinely accepted in compliance actions and in court;
	Methods that save you time and money—on the high costs of new methods development AND on the cost of repeating analyses performed with less reliable methods;
	Methods that give your lab a competitive edge—because they foster reproducibility, adhere to the latest regulatory and industry standards, and support accreditation and maintain compliance with current proficiency guidelines;
	Methods that have gained worldwide recognition and acceptance—many of these methods have been developed and validated through AOAC's cooperation with other leading international organizations—including the Codex Alimentarius Commmission, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), The International Dairy Federation (IDF), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and the Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council (CIPAC)—to ensure harmonization of protocols and to faciliate your viability in foreign markets; and
	Methods that are not only current but continually updated—new and revised methods, using the latest technology, are continually being validated by AOAC. These are published in revisions to the print and CD-ROM versions and are available annually for purchase.
