The economic impact of non-compliance for arsenic in consumptive products is a critical factor for continued market share and perception by the public for identifying product viability. Regulatory institutions and the general public have placed an increased burden on...
Collaborations with scientists at Brooks Applied Labs has yielded yet another scientific publication. Through the efforts of Russell Gerads and the entire laboratory staff at BAL, research was made possible to ascertain the health implications of exposure to arsenic...
The report associated with the 2014 Brooks Rand Labs International Interlaboratory Comparison Study for Arsenic Speciation in Food is now available! In its second year, this study continues to be one of the largest intercomparison studies for arsenic speciation in...
It has become increasingly common for risk assessment and treatability studies to require arsenic speciation data to determine the potential mobility of this toxic contaminant at varying sites. Looking at arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] values can be helpful...
Spectroscopy published an article last month summarizing Brooks Rand Labs' 2013 Interlaboratory Comparison Study for the Determination of Arsenic and Arsenic Species in Rice, Kelp, and Apple Juice. The purpose of the study was to provide a reliable means for...
Consumer Reports recently published an article regarding the risks associated with the levels of arsenic in rice and rice products. Since there is not yet an FDA-mandated limit on the amount of inorganic arsenic (the more toxic form of arsenic) that is present in our...
Our very own Metals Chemist, Ian Joslin, made his scientific debut at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) North America 35th Annual Meeting by presenting his poster on the Potential Bias in Arsenic Speciation Results for Tissues Prepared by...
Brooks Rand Labs is organizing the 2nd annual Interlaboratory Comparison Study for Arsenic Speciation in Food. With so few available reference materials that are certified for inorganic arsenic and other individual arsenic species, this study provides one of the few...
In case you missed us at the 2014 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry in Florida from January 6 through January 11, our Trace Metals Research Chemist, Tamas Ugrai, presented a poster on a Brooks Rand Study, entitled "An International Intercomparison Study for...
