High-quality data with precision and accuracy

At Green Analytical Laboratories it is our goal to produce high-quality data with precision and accuracy in a timely and cost-effective manner. The quality assurance program executed in our laboratories ensures that every aspect of sample handling, analysis, and data reporting is done in a manner that complies with state accreditation authorities and individual client needs. Green Analytical is committed to the continuous improvement of personnel and instrumentation and to providing a customized service for a diverse clientele.

LIMS – Laboratory Information Management System

Our laboratories utilize a laboratory information management system (LIMS) to organize all sample data and quality control.  The LIMS’s ability to catalog each sample detail provides a powerful and convenient tool for referencing past projects. In addition, the LIMS is frequently tasked with creating a multitude of electronic data deliverables (EDD’s) that align with our clientele’s custom data systems.

Internal Audits

Internal audits are performed once per year at a minimum and are designed to examine the laboratories’ data quality, efficiency, safety, equipment maintenance, and record-keeping. Laboratory technical directors track samples through each function of the analytical process to ensure that state compliance protocols and customer requirements are being satisfied. Teamwork among quality control directors, analysts, and technicians enable the internal audit program to serve as a successful method for improving all laboratory processes.

Colorado Drinking water compliance program

Green Analytical Laboratories and Cardinal Laboratories participate in the State of Colorado and New Mexico drinking water compliance programs. Both labs also participate in the NELAP accreditation program as administered through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Each program involves on-site audits, which are conducted once every two years at a minimum. In addition to external inspections, the laboratory performs Performance Evaluations (PEs) at a program specified interval, to ensure that the laboratory meets the frequency and quality criteria for each certification type, such as WS (water supply) for drinking water and WP (water pollution) for wastewater. Additional studies are performed on occasion as internal blind audits.
