ISO 14674 | IDF 190: 2005: Milk and milk powder – Determin. of aflatoxin M1 content – Clean-up by immunoaffinity chromatography and determination by thin-layer chromatography

This standard specifies a method for the determination of the aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) content of milk and milk powder by a method including a clean-up step using immunoaffinity chromatography followed by a thin-layer chromatography (IAC-TLC). The method is applicable to raw milk, low fat or skimmed liquid milk and milk powder.The lowest quantity of AFM1 […]

ISO 14461-1 | IDF 169-1:2005: Milk and milk products – Quality control in microbiological laboratories – Part 1: Analyst performance assessment for colony counts

This standard describes a procedure for testing the performance of the colony-count technique within a laboratory by establishing the within-laboratory variability of its technique and identifying those steps that are associated with excessive variability. The procedure is also suitable for checking the proper observance of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), which may be a prerequisite for […]

ISO 14461-2 | IDF 169-2: 2005 – Quality control in microbiological laboratories – Part 2: Determination of the reliability of colony counts of parallel plates and subsequent dilution steps

This standard describes a routine procedure for the evaluation of results of the enumeration of microorganisms using colony-count methods with subsequent 10-fold dilution steps and one plate or two parallel plates within each dilution step. This routine procedure is applied regularly in each laboratory performing colony counts. It provides criteria for the acceptability of differences […]
