Analysis of Fiber Sources

Find your fiber source(s) on the chart and use the alpha reference to see how it aligns with each method. If the alpha reference is fully inside the method circle, that method is optimal for your fiber source(s). If it's outside or touching the circle's edge, the method won't fully capture the fiber. Remember to check applicable labeling regulations for allowed fiber sources.

Common Fiber (Crude) Test Testing Questions

We make every effort to keep our methods and detection limits up to date according to the latest standards and qualifications. If you have any questions regarding the limit of detection/quantification or method references, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615.

Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
