AMS is committed to the science behind our products.
That commitment is reflected in our enthusiasm for
working with the best qualified agronomists, scientists
and universities; and is even more evident in our
commitment to provide high quality solutions for our
customers, now and in the future.

The category of "microbial soil amendments" has long bred skepticism about the products, technologies and the companies behind them. Knowing that, AMS has made significant investments in research, development and quality assurance – with a fully equipped
laboratory and scientific team led by Dr. Bob Ames. More specifically, we have made
major investments in critical areas in our commitment to product integrity:

Production Process:  AMS takes great pride in assuring that our unique and proprietary products remain consistent in form and function. Microbiological plating, fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME) analysis, metabolic profiling, production batch management and traceability;
along with lab and field assays on soil and plants and collaborative university studies are
but a few of the steps we take to ensure product consistency. <more>

Quality Assurance:  We go to exceptional lengths to assure that the products we manufacture meet a consistent standard for quality and safety. In addition to in-house quality controls, AMS uses several independent labs to validate methods and observations; and a third-party, food quality lab to assure products are free of common plant and animal pathogens. <more>

Stability and Compatibility:  AMS is broadly known for the remarkable stability and "user friendliness" of our products. All products are controlled, batch by batch, to ensure that they meet finished product standards for quality and safety. Aging studies as far out as seven years have validated our position on shelf-life and stability. And our science team has conducted compatibility analysis in scores of product combinations over the past several years. <more>
