Laboratory
An ancient Chinese proverb explains the importance of the laboratory:
‘I heard and I forgot, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.’
Laboratory for us.
-
Controlling the quality of our production
-
Is an important part of our production process
-
Is a prerequisite for high quality production.
-
Ensuring good manufacturing practices and controlling critical points.
In our laboratory, sampling of raw materials and of finished goods applications is made respecting these following aspects.
-
Homogeneity: Especially dust powder feed additives’ raw materials and finished goods sampling methods.
-
Stability: Analyzing how continuous raw materials and finished goods are with time.
-
Representative sampling: Used in particular for licking blocks. For example, selecting random 3 licking blocks from 1000 and testing them.
In our laboratory, tests are carried out using the following order:
-
Repeatability
-
Reproducibility
-
Accuracy
-
Certainty
The equipment we use:
-
FTIR spectrometer (MINERAL ANALYSIS)
-
PH meter
-
REFRACTOMETER (Brix measurement)
-
Micro-Vickers (hardness measuring instrument in blocks)
-
Impact Resistance Tester (in blocks)
-
Other standard chemistry laboratory equipment
Processing procedures:
-
Selectivity
-
The linear range
-
Accuracy
-
Limit of detection
-
The detection limit
-
Stability
-
