When the sample is tested at high temperatures, a series of physical and chemical changes take place, and finally, the organic components volatilize and escape, while the inorganic components (mainly inorganic salts and oxides) remain. These residues are called ash, which mainly includes three types: water-soluble ash, water-insoluble ash, and acid-insoluble ash. The determination of ash is not only related to food quality but also can be used as one of the evaluation indicators of plant nutrition, so Lifeasible uses a mature platform to provide customers around the world with accurate and rapid ash detection of plant samples, and experienced experts provide you with a professional analysis of test results. Lifeasible is committed to the field of plant research, round-the-clock service, and excellent, fast after-sales so that you can test without worry.

What We Offer

• Determination of total ash content in plant samples.
• Quality assessment of finished or semi-finished products of plant-derived food.
• Determination of nutritional reference index of the sample (combined with the determination of other elements).
• Evaluation and determination of food contamination from plant sources.
• Source and authenticity evaluation of botanical samples.

*The testing project is constantly updated, please contact our staff by email for more up-to-date and relevant information.

Sample Requirement

• This project only supports dry plant samples (> 5 g). If you have special needs, please contact our staff by email.

*The experimental samples will not be returned, please back them up by yourself. Before sampling, it is necessary to set up the control group and the experimental group, and each group is suggested to repeat more than 3 times.
*Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature.
*There is no restriction on plant varieties. For varieties with special requirements or rare varieties, please contact our staff for more information.
