Road to Developing Howard Mold Count Analysis as required in Malaysia Food Act 1983 Food Regulations 1985

Hello, greetings. As refer to the above topic title, currently I'm developing the method in the lab. However, I'm at zero knowledge on it.

Can anybody please advice me. I'm referring to AOAC 984.29. I'm at the beginning of setting up the IQC standard for the method but.. seems kinda lost. I've tried to stain it using safarin colour. Please help. Thank you.

This may be of some help

Hello Scampi, 

Thanks for the reply. 

However I still don't have the idea to do the IQC if the method is successfully done.

Any idea? 

Anyone ?

What is IQC ?

Hi Charles,

IQC = Internal Quality Control 

to verify the execution of the analysis.

normal practice here we use spiked control material.

in this HMC method we use Aspergillus Niger as positive control.
