for empirical calibration procedures. ERP recommendations
have been fully incorporated into the method as presented (3).
The ERP requested that R data be generated on a variety of
instrument manufacturers’ equipment. The R data will establish
whether the method is suitable as a screening method or as a
confirmatory method (3).
Acknowledgments
Recognition for this AOAC First Action method goes
to James Bartos, Office of the Indiana State Chemist, who
coauthored the single-laboratory validation (1) and submitted
the method to the ERP for fertilizers (3). He has championed
this method throughout the long and tedious process. His
expertise, diligence, input, and effort were essential to properly
document the method into AOAC First Action format.
