The Polymer Content Test is performed to determine the percentage of polymer present in a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sample. It helps assess the quality and purity of the material by identifying the amount of polymer and the presence in polymeric substances. This test ensures that the HDPE material meets the specified quality requirements and is

Fat is one of the major nutritional components of food and plays an essential role in providing energy.It helps to ensure the food quality & nutritional properties required in labelling during food packaging. In cooked foods, the fat content may vary depending on the ingredients used, cooking methods. Here we have taken Paneer Curry as

Arsenic testing in food samples is performed to determine the presence and concentration of arsenic, a toxic heavy metal that may occur naturally or through environmental contamination. The analysis is essential to ensure food safety and compliance with regulatory limits. Here we take Spices Sample(Red Chilli Powder) to detect arsenic in our lab. Chemical &

Surface swab testing is a microbiological sampling technique used to assess the cleanliness and hygienic condition of environmental and equipment surfaces. It is an essential component of environmental monitoring programs in laboratory. The procedure involves collecting microorganisms from a defined surface area using a sterile swab, followed by microbiological analysis to determine the presence and

Magnesium is an essential mineral found naturally in fish and plays an important role in human nutrition. Determining the magnesium content of dried fish helps evaluate its nutritional value, ensure product quality, and verify compliance with food quality standards. We have taken dry fish(Bombay Duck/Lote Fish) sample for this test. Glassware used in Magnesium Testing

P-alkalinity (Phenolphthalein Alkalinity) is a measure of the alkalinity of water due to the presence of hydroxide (OH⁻) ion. It is determined by titrating a water sample with a standard acid using phenolphthalein as the indicator. The endpoint of the titration occurs at pH 8.3, where the pink color of the indicator disappears. Here we

Biowaste (sludge) is rich in organic matter and contains a significant amount of carbon. This carbon comes from decomposed biological materials such as food waste, plant residues, and wastewater solids. Measuring the carbon content of sludge is important for assessing its potential for composting, biogas production etc. Here we follow the Titrimetric Method to determine
