Quality & data integrity

Controlled methods. Data you can trace.

Results come out of written methods, get checked by someone else, and are kept so they can be looked at again.

Written methods and SOPs

Procedures are written down before they’re used — how a sample is handled, how instruments are calibrated, how numbers are worked out. Every change is versioned and signed off, so a result always ties back to the exact procedure behind it.

  • Reference standards & traceability
  • A documented chain of custody
  • Independent review before release
  • Chromatographic records kept seven years
  • A retained sample for re-checking

What a validated method proves.

CheckWhat it proves
SpecificityIt measures only the thing we mean to measure
LinearityThe response tracks concentration across the range
AccuracyResults land on a known true value
PrecisionRepeat the measurement, get the same answer
LOD / LOQThe least we can detect, and the least we can quantify

Every record, dependable.

We handle data to the ALCOA+ principles, so the record stays trustworthy all the way from the bench to the certificate.

Scope, not a badge

We work to a defined scope rather than a third-party accreditation. The assurance comes from written methods, an independent check, and records that trace back. Method and validation records are available on request.
