Michael Chan Michael_chan@bcit.ca British Colombia Institute of Technology

Throughout my educational and professional career I have obtained extensive experience in the development, optimization and validation of analytical methods for botanicals, natural products and dietary supplements. I have performed and supervised single laboratory and collaborative validation studies analytical methods including methods for the analysis of Aloe Vera, Ginseng, Echinacea, Cranberry, Goldenseal, Turmeric and Kombucha, with several of the methods I have worked on being published and accepted as first action OMA by AOAC. With my strong background and experience in analytical chemistry and statistics I have a thorough understanding of the requirements to review and evaluate method performance characteristics. Additionally my pharmacognosy training has given a solid foundation in natural products chemistry and the issues associated with analysis of complex sample matrixes.
