October 17, 2012 To Whom it May Concern: I am submitting the following CV with the objective of participating on any AOAC expert review panels (ERP) dealing with the analysis of metals by ICP-MS in foods, beverages, infant formula, or supplements. Brief Summary of Specific Experience in Metals by ICP-MS I have extensive experience with the use of ICP-MS for the analysis of metals at commercial testing laboratories, including experience with method development, optimization, and validation. I have been reviewing ICP-MS data since 1993, and I first started performing ICP-MS analyses in 1997. For the past fifteen years I have either been performing ICP-MS analyses or supervising groups of chemists who were using ICP-MS for the determination of metals in complex matrices. I have taken several advanced training courses on ICP-MS analysis, including courses on the use of isotope dilution and interference reduction technologies. I have given numerous poster and oral presentations and a large number of conferences on a broad range of topics related to ICP-MS analysis, most recently at the AOAC Annual Meeting.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Brooks Rand Labs, Seattle, WA: Vice President of Analytical Services and Technical Director July 2004 – Current
In my current position as Vice President at Brooks Rand, I oversee all operations of the Analytical Services Division. I am responsible for the division budget (~$3 million), and for ensuring all work is performed on-time, at the highest level of quality possible, and in a manner that generates a profit for the company. I oversee and directly participate in business development efforts and assist the company President in critical company decision-making. I am responsible for selecting and contracting with vendors, all human resources, and ensuring that all staff who report to me (approximately 25 people) have the tools and resources required to perform their roles to the best of their abilities. I am responsible for all aspects of laboratory operations, quality assurance, customer service, finance and budgeting, facilities management, capitol equipment procurement, employee professional development, and staff morale.
Frontier Geosciences (now Frontier Global Sciences), Seattle, WA: Many of my positions at Frontier overlapped or were performed concurrently with other positions; therefore, the timeline below may seem a little odd. There were times when I filled up to five roles at the same time, making for a complicated job description. I would be happy to describe any of the positions or the timeline in more detail upon request.
Vice President of Operations August 2002 – July 2004
The position of VP Operations was created for me as the company grew to a size where it was deemed necessary to have one person in charge of all company operations. In this position, all research scientists, the laboratory manager, the QA Officer, and all administrative staff (a total of 60 FTEs) reported to me. I was responsible for creating and managing seven separate annual departmental budgets and all company activities outside of accounting and business development. All decisions related to IT, HR, QA, facilities, safety, and laboratory management were ultimately my responsibility. I sought out the best vendors to provide services for Frontier, and negotiated contracts on behalf of the company. I helped the department managers (which included all of Frontier’s research scientist and the laboratory manager) develop hiring and business plans, setting goals for revenue and profitability, helped them to achieve those goals, and I assisted in personnel issues where necessary. On a corporate level, I have served on Frontier’s Management Committee since 1998, where I have been instrumental in making company-wide decisions and setting corporate policy. I have been the “go to” person in the absence of the company president for decision making and check signing. Ask me about my experience in setting up a trace metals laboratory from scratch in 2004.
Board of Directors and Treasurer January 2001 – June 2004 I served as one of Frontier’s five Board members since the inception of a real, active Board in 2001 until my most recent term ended in June 2004. I also have served as the Treasurer for Frontier Geosciences from January 2003 – June 2004.

Human Resources Director April 2003 – February 2004
The position of HR Director was added to my other VP of Admin duties when this role was relinquish by Frontier’s President. As HR Director, my responsibilities included all aspects of hiring, evaluations, and terminations; ensuring that all employees were thoroughly covered by our corporate benefits, including medical insurance (including selection of appropriate plan), dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, and other company benefits and perks; administration of the company’s 401(k) plan; writing and editing of the employee handbook; and ensuring that the company met its legal and ethical responsibilities in all areas related to HR.
Vice President of Administration & Analytical Services March 2001 - August 2002
When this position was created, the oversight of all corporate administration was combined with the duties of the Laboratory Manager. This included oversight of IT, Safety, QA, Facilities, Office Management (including reception), and Graphics. Since taking this position (and up until the present time), I have been instrumental in company-wide business development efforts, including over 20 oral presentations (with self-prepared PowerPoint presentations) to clients, potential clients, government agencies, and at technical meetings.
Quality Assurance (QA) Officer April 2001-November 2001, March 2003-November 2003
I served as interim QA Officer for time periods above when Frontier was between QA Officers. During both time periods, it was my responsibility to review and edit Frontier’s Quality Assurance Plan and ensure that the company was following all requirements laid out in the plan. I was also responsible for keeping our state and NELAC certifications current, review and approval of all SOPs, preparation of quarterly QA reports, review of all incident reports and corrective action reports and prescribing additional corrective actions or documentation when needed.
Laboratory Manager April 1998 - November 2001
My duties as Laboratory Manager included oversight of all aspects of Frontier’s Analytical Laboratory. This included supervision of all of the groups within the laboratory (trace metals analysis, mercury analysis, project management, QA, technical data services, shipping & receiving, and bottle washing). I was responsible for the budgeting and revenue projections for the department, which had as many as 40 FTEs producing as much as $5M in revenue. Ask me about my experience in setting up a total mercury lab in the rural hills of Peru the summer of 2000.
Project Management Group Leader August 1999 - August 2001
As the group leader for the Project Management Group, I supervised a group of 5-8 project managers, while still managing about $1.5M of projects. I was responsible for the hiring, training, and development of all project coordinators and project managers, as well the approval of all data and final reports submitted to our clients.

Project Manager June 1996 - August 2001
While I was still an analyst, I started assuming project management responsibilities, including setting up projects with clients, sending quotations and proposals, report generation, narrative writing, speaking with clients on the phone about their results, and invoicing.
Trace Metals Group Leader December 1996 – April 1998
I was promoted to Group Leader after less than two years with the company. In this position I was responsible for the management and supervision of the group, which included a staff of up to 6 analysts and laboratory assistants. I made decisions about the purchase of new instrumentation, and was the lead ICP-MS analyst after this instrument was purchased in 1997. All group scheduling and training was performed by me, in addition to method development and QA review of all data produced by the trace metals group. During this time I also gained extensive experience in ultra-clean sample collection of environmental field samples.
Trace Metals Analyst July 1995 – December 1996
As one of the founding members of Frontier’s Trace Metals Group, I helped develop new methods for the analysis of trace metals in environmental samples using GFAAS, HG-AAS, and HG-AFS.
Laucks Testing Laboratory (now Pace Analytical), Seattle, WA: Inorganics Department Supervisor - Conventionals July 1994 – July 1995
In addition to maintaining many of my analytical responsibilities, I directed a nine-member team and I was responsible for data validation and thoroughness of all analytical results reports and CLP-style results packages (including electronic data deliverables) generated by the department. I was an integral part of overall division management, including hiring, work distribution, and instrument maintenance.
Inorganics Analyst August 1992 – July 1994
I performed numerous analytical tasks, including anions by IC, mercury by CV-AAS, nutrients and cyanide by automated colorimetry, and TPH by FTIR.

Dear Sir/Madam:
AOAC holds the reputation of gathering top scientists worldwide to set up the standards of analytical methods in the food industry. Sharing the same commitment to excellence in analytical method, we (EPL) are impressed by the broad influence of AOAC, and are looking forward to contribute our knowledge and expertise to the community.
Currently AOAC is calling for new methods and seeking experts to join the expert review panel for heavy metal analysis in various foods and beverages. My skills and experiences fortunately fall into this category. Since 2009 I have developed ICP-MS and ICP-OES/AES methods not only for heavy metal analyses (As, Se, Co, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Ni), but also targeting Mo, I, S, and mineral determinations (Mg, Ca, Mn, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Na, and K) in a variety of seeds which are usually the critical sources of our food and where our juices or fruit concentrates come from. The methods I developed are unique and are excellent in terms of accuracy and precision. I have resolved the challenges to achieve superb recovery, repeatability and reproducibility for every difficult matrix, including those with high content of protein and oil. With proven reliability, robustness and sustainability, all the internal methods have been actively utilized in seeds and feeds analysis for almost all our international seed customers for about three years now. At present, the commodity list is expanding by popular requests. In addition to the effectiveness, as emphasized in AOAC criteria, method safety has always been our top priority in EPL. In the case of iodine determination, TMAH has been used widely and efficiently as a major dissolution reagent for about fifteen years. However TMAH poisoning and death was reported recently after accidental industrial exposure. Paying the attention to the possible toxicity, we decided on discontinuation of the assay to start a new approach. After investigations and experiments I successfully replaced TMAH with choline hydroxide, a vitamin derivative. To our knowledge, this is the first publication of using choline hydroxide in iodine determination with demonstrated competence in analytical performance in addition to superior method sensitivity and efficiency.
We know how important the “gold standard” is and how much it means to us and to our industry. I would like to take the opportunity and serve in the heavy metal analysis expert review penal of the AOAC community. I believe by joining the panel I could help AOAC in recognition of efficient methods and experienced professionals with my passion on elemental analysis and my responsibility on food and feed safety.
Sincerely,
Li Sheng May 24, 2013

Christopher Smith The Coca-Cola Company [email protected] Statement of Expertise: ICP-MS Heavy Metals In 2004 my primary job duties were to install and run heavy metals analyses using ICP-MS and sample preparation with either the hot-block or microwave digestion units. I was the primary person responsible for ICP-MS method development and establishment of methods for The Coca-Cola Company. At the time, heavy metal analysis for all of North and South America was handled in my lab. The sample types ranged from typical food ingredients to packaging and to plastics. Since the data and most of the samples were trade secrets, I did not externally publish any papers on ICP-MS methodology. After moving to a new department in the Quality function, I became the leader of the ICP-MS for that department. This lasted until 2012, when we transferred the analysis to another Quality group. As of April 2012, I have been the AOAC Stakeholder Panel committee chairperson for the Heavy Metals Working Group.
