Research & Sourcing Standards

  • All regulatory claims are verified against current U.S. FDA, USP, ISO, and applicable state guidelines.
  • Scientific claims cite peer-reviewed research, official regulatory publications, or accreditation body documentation where available.
  • We do not rely solely on secondary sources — primary regulatory texts and official method references are consulted directly.
  • Statistics and data points are verified before publication. Where estimates are used, they are labelled as such.

Review Process

Before publication, every article and service page is reviewed by a subject matter expert on our team with relevant credentials in laboratory testing or regulatory compliance. Content involving health claims, FDA regulations, or ISO standards is reviewed with particular care.

Update & Correction Policy

Regulations change. We review our service pages and blog posts on a regular cadence:

  • Service pages: reviewed semi-annually or whenever relevant regulations are updated.
  • Blog posts: reviewed annually. Significant updates are noted with a "Last reviewed" date at the top of the article.
  • Corrections: if we identify a factual error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the affected page.

To report an error, contact info@qalitex.com.

Conflicts of Interest

Qalitex Laboratories is a commercial laboratory. Our content may reference our own services. Where we describe testing methodologies or regulatory requirements, we aim to present this information accurately regardless of whether Qalitex offers the described service.

We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. Press mentions and media features are earned, not purchased.

Affiliate Links & Sponsorships

Qalitex does not use affiliate links in our editorial content. We do not publish sponsored content that is presented as independent editorial.
