AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) is a unified non-profit scientific organization, which was founded in 1884.The members of AOAC are government officials, academics, scientists in industrial laboratories and general staff from many countries.They work as researchers, method collaborators and committee members in the research activities of AOAC.
In the past 121 years, AOAC International (formerly the Association of Official Analytical Chemists and before that, the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists) has evolved into an independent association of scientific analytical scientists,USDAAnd state chemists with members from all over the world.Today, AOAC is a leader in providing industry, government agencies and academic institutions with proven methods, competency test samples, certification standards and scientific information.
AOAC International is an association of nearly 4000 individuals and 300 organization members from more than 90 countries and regions.Individual member laboratory management, analytical chemist, microbiologist, toxicologist, forensic scientist and management personnel work in industry, government and academia.Member enterprises, commercial laboratories, government agencies and universities.The elected Board of Directors manages the Association.The official methods committee, the editorial board, the special and standing committee, the method of attention and verification, the contact position with other organizations, and the position of the staff of the headquarters in advance and judging support the mission of the association.
In furtherance of its mission, the main project of the association focuses on the validation of chemical and microbiological analytical methods.These verification procedures are: AOAC®For the official MethodsSM plan, the highest level of confidence is required when selecting solutions;AOAC ® is critical to the speed of validation of MethodsSM plans, and the low level of confidence is acceptable;The AOAC ® Performance Test MethodsSM program is used to test the performance of the test tool.More than 800 scientists work in industry, government and academic laboratories around the world to a large extent to complete the actual verification work.The methods found in the 18th edition of the analysis of AOAC's international official methods have been verified by AOAC®Within the official MethodsSM program.Candidates for AOAC ® official MethodSM status are jointly researched by eight or more laboratories, in accordance with internationally recognized standards, and subject to strict scientific review of performance test results.The effective method of AOAC used by governments, industries and academia around the world is to analyze various commodities, especially food, agriculture, public health and safety and the environment.In fact, many of the validation methods in this version have in fact been passed by industry and government agencies in their laboratory operating standards.
