FAQ

What is the max sample size you can process?

The FLEX can process up to 10g of sample for vitamin and cholesterol analysis. The sample size maximum is dependent on analyte content, analyte homogeneity within the sample, and sample composition. Samples that typically require 10g sample sizes are high-moisture samples such as juice, milk, and wet pet foods. Most other samples are run at 0.25 – 5g sample size.  

Crude and total fat analysis uses 1g sample per assay. Since fat is a macronutrient, homogeneity issues can be solved with proper homogenization or grinding prior to analysis.
