Let's talk scientific testing.
A lot of questions have come up about this over the last few months. Codie-lyn Kahler typed a list of all the tests that YL does and a brief description of what they do.
👩🔬 Viscometry- shows how viscous a liquid is (think vetiver versus lavender)👩🔬 Densitometry- picks up water from distillation👩🔬 Refractometry- measures how much light is bent Polarimetry- sends a beam of polarized light thru oil to see the rotation👩🔬 ICP- MS( Inductively Coupled Plasma mass spectrometry)- measures metal in oils👩🔬 ICP- OES (Inductively couples plasma atomic optical emission spectrometry)- also measures metal👩🔬 Gas Chromatograph- pulls apart into all compounds present and uses high heat👩🔬 HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatograph- similar to GC but uses a high pressure liquid👩🔬 FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)- Measures chemical bonds between compounds👩🔬 Automated Micro-enumeration- Counts bacteria in a sample👩🔬 Disintegration Testing- measures how quickly a tablet disintegrates👩🔬 PH- measures how acidic/basic a product is👩🔬 Flashpoint-point at which it ignites👩🔬 Microscopy- looking at compound thru the microscope to identify👩🔬 Combustibility-measures how easily a substance will set on fire, through fire or combustion
According to Mike Buch, these are all the normal tests that YL runs on all oils and products.
👩🔬 The new test they are starting to add is Chiral Chromatography. This test separates optical isomers and determines organic compounds from inorganic compounds.👩🔬 The other new test they are starting is the IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry). We have 2 of these machines and it takes 2 years of intense training to be able to use them. This test measures all oils to make sure they have the same ratio as the atmosphere.
