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 equipments 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
– Certainty
