UNMATCHED CAPACITY FROM OUR COLLECTIVE STRENGTH OF NATIONWIDE LOCATIONS

5

EMSL Analytical, Inc.’s laboratory services are governed by our Quality Assurance

Program (QAP) of Policies and Procedures which is described in our Quality

Assurance Manual. This program follows the quality guidelines as documented

in ISO/IEC 17025:2005 as well as program requirements of the A2LA,

American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), the National Voluntary

Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP), The NELAC Institute (TNI),

and other applicable state and federal regulatory requirements associated

with laboratory accreditations/certifications.

Our QAP has been designed to ensure that quality professional services

and technical excellence is provided to our customers. It is a real and

living program in that the QAP Policies and Procedures are integrated

into our daily work and are continually reviewed and updated by

Management. It is formally reviewed at least annually by the Corporate

QA Manager as well as formal reviews performed any time a problem

arises that indicates a possible program flaw. In such instances, the

Corporate QA Manager involves the Corporate Officers as well as

National Directors, Regional Managers, Laboratory Directors, and Quality

Control Department Personnel and Senior Analysts/Chemists to ensure that

all necessary feedback is solicited from all staff levels of the operation.

6

Education and Experience

Minimum education and experience requirements

are listed for each position within the company.

Additionally, all technical staff (analysts, chemists,

technicians, etc.) must successfully complete an

EMSL training program prior to performing

analysis independently.

Training Programs

Laboratory Managers are responsible for ensuring

that appropriate training is provided to the technical

staff and that they are qualified to perform the test

method. At a minimum, training consists of formal

instruction and hands on training with the

instru-ments and systems related to the analytical process

and methods. Additionally the training includes

formal tracking and documentation of a person’s

“Demonstration of Capability” (DOC) which is

required before they can independently process

samples. Annually, ongoing training and review of

ongoing demonstration of capability is performed.

Ongoing training is provided to all employees on

a consistent basis which may include but not be

limited to the following:

• Laboratory Staff Meetings – Typically include

a variety of topics but often address technical

updates on analytical methods, customer service

training issues, health & safety incidents and

training, etc.

• Laboratory Audit Review – Staff are encouraged

to consult with internal and external auditors

for advice on various topics related to the audit

findings and recommendations and/or

deficiencies.

• Workshops provided by professional

organizations, agencies and/or by

instrument/equipment vendors.

Health and Safety Training

Health & Safety training is provided to all EMSL

employees as described in our written Chemical

Hygiene Plan. The Chemical Hygiene Plan

defines work practices and procedures that ensure

the employees of EMSL Analytical, Incorporated

are protected from health risks associated with the

potential exposure to hazardous chemicals and is

compliant with the standard promulgated by

OSHA entitled “Hazardous Work in Laboratories”,

29CFR 1910.1450.

Code of Ethics Training

One of the objectives of the QAP is to ensure

that staff of EMSL are provided information with

regard to ethics as they pertain to laboratory

operations. The goal of the EMSL ethics training

and policy is for each staff member to understand

their responsibility to provide true and accurate

information and the consequences of unethical

conduct. The QAP addresses the Code of Ethics

by including the following:

• Specific guidelines and interpretations which

define “Right and Wrong” as it relates to job

related situations.

• Reinforcement of the consequences of

unethical decisions and the understanding

of the impact of our actions.

• Direction to employees to report or inquire

about situations that may be ethically

questionable.

• Procedures which ensure that all employees

are free of unreasonable pressure and stress.

Analysis of Environmental Samples requires special skills that come from a combination of industry

experi-ence and academic credentials, coupled with formal training. The individual training requirements for each

person is based on the complexity of the test(s) that will be performed by the individual. EMSL will only allow

a scientist to independently express results after they have met the requirements of the training program. Our

programs address both the technical scientific aspects of the analytical process as well Ethics and Integrity

Training as it pertains to the process of providing data and results to our customers.

S T A N D A R D O P E R A T I N G P R O C E D U R E S

Acceptance of Work

Our services are generally offered as unit cost

tests which reference documented methodologies.

Laboratory services are typically requested by the

customer as “open order” requests meaning that

samples may be delivered to the laboratory at any

given time, without a firm documented arrangement

(contract). EMSL accepts the customer

Chain-of-Custody (COC) as the open-order authorization

which specifies the analytical test, turn-around-time

(TAT), and quantity of tests to be completed. In the

absence of a formal contract agreement, work-order,

and/or purchase order, EMSL’s Terms and

Conditions will apply. Modifications to the standard

Terms and Conditions must be documented and

agreed upon by both EMSL and the customer.

Sample Acceptance Criteria

The acceptance of custody of the samples at time of

delivery does not imply that samples are acceptable

for analysis. Since often the condition of samples

cannot be determined prior to preparation, final

sample acceptance does not occur until samples are

prepped or analyzed. At that time, samples are

inspected and evaluated to determine if they conform

to laboratory acceptance criteria. If they do not, or

if the Lab has any questions as to the validity of the

sample, then the sample is further scrutinized by

the lab manager or designated person who will then

determine whether the questionable condition is

suf-ficient to require rejection of the samples. Samples

may also be rejected if its condition or contents at

time of delivery is unsuitable (e.g., improperly

pack-aged) or may pose a risk in handling or processing.

Rejections of samples will be followed up by

immedi-ate notification to the customer for further direction.

Sample Tracking and Control

Chain-of-Custody

In order to ensure the integrity of any sample,

records of its custody must be maintained from

sam-ple collection in the field until relinquishment of the

samples and acceptance by the laboratory. Since the

customer collects the sample, EMSL does not accept

responsibility for the validity of the sample collection

and delivery protocols, nor the sample information

reported by the customer. As needed and/or

requested, we can recommend sampling media,

volumes, sample size, and other items which we have

found to have an effect on the quality of the analysis

due to the sample condition.

Once the sample is accepted for analysis by the

laboratory, the EMSL “Internal Chain of Custody”

is used to document the handling of the samples

throughout the analytical process. In instances

when samples are internally transferred to a

different EMSL lab in the network, the samples are

accompanied with a completed “Sample Relinquish

Form” which includes internal custody transfer

sign-off and customer/project information for

tracking purposes. A copy of the completed form is

also maintained in a tracking manual at the initial

lab that received the samples. Whenever samples

are transferred to another lab, EMSL will request

customer approval for the transfer unless a standing

agreement is in place.

Sample Log-In

EMSL’s sample tracking and control starts from the

time the samples arrive at the laboratory at “sample

receiving/log-in”. Log-in of samples is normally

done by the log-in department and/or the

adminis-trative coordinator but may also be done by other

employees trained and familiar with the process.

Information is entered for the samples received by

the laboratory into the Laboratory Information

Management System (LIMS). LIMS is a computer

based management system which serves to track all

samples from receipt through prep, analysis,

report-ing, and billing processes. If requested, the LIMS

system will send an email notification automatically

to the customer when the samples are received by

EMSL. The email notification includes when the

samples were received, sample log-in information

(tests, sample numbers, etc) and the scheduled due

date for results.

Instructions and procedures for the activities related to the analytical process are developed by management

and are clearly defined and documented in our Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Manuals. These

techni-cally specific SOP’s are located at each laboratory facility and include the step-by-step procedures for each

analytical test method performed inclusive of the initial acceptance and handling of samples, sample control

throughout the process, sample preparation, analysis, and reporting of the data. EMSL utilizes company wide

standard procedures incorporated in each specific SOP which comply with our QAP and adhere to the

follow-ing protocols:

8

Archival and Disposal of Samples

Samples which are not completely consumed in

analysis are retained as detailed in the area-specific

quality assurance modules which specify sample

retention schedules. In accordance with this

sched-ule, samples are then disposed of by a licensed

con-tractor, where required, and a copy of the waste

manifest is obtained and kept on file.

If requested, samples will be returned to the

cus-tomer. If a customer has specific requirements for

sample storage or retention times beyond standard

EMSL policy, this should be discussed at the time

of sample delivery, documented and approved by

EMSL and the customer.

Subcontracting

Other than utilizing our internal network of labs,

EMSL generally does not subcontract much

analyti-cal work to outside laboratories. However, in the

event such services are required, the laboratory

man-ager will ensure all procedures are performed by

lab-oratories that comply with the quality management

system as addressed in the EMSL QA Manual and

the policies of the accreditation program(s) currently

held by the original laboratory. Laboratories must

subcontract to outside laboratories that maintain

accreditations appropriate for that analysis unless

otherwise directed by the customer.

Sample Processing and Procedures

Quality of Materials

The high quality of materials used in the

laborato-ries is ensured through specific purchasing and

veri-fication procedures and proper handling techniques.

Selection of the appropriate grade of reagent(s) is

designated in the reagent section of each analytical

SOP and in addition may be specified by the

labora-tory manager in unusual circumstances. As a general

practice, reagents will be of at least ACS reagent

quality.

Reagents and standards are purchased in accordance

with the analytical needs of the laboratories as

deter-mined by the laboratory manager. When received

by the laboratory, these items’ labels are dated and

initialed with the date received and expiration dates

provided by the manufacturer, or as assigned by the

laboratory. Labels are also dated and initialed when

opened and/or when reagent mixtures are prepared.

Verification of reagents will consist of confirming

that the priority grade recorded on the reagent label

conforms to the requirements of the SOP unless

analysis difficulties indicate a possible problem or

regulatory agency requirements specify otherwise.

In the latter case, the analytical SOP will identify the

appropriate reagent.

Equipment/Instrument Maintenance

The quality and maintenance of equipment plays a

critical role in providing quality analytical services.

The laboratory manager determines whether each

instrument is maintained and repaired in house or

by an outside source following EMSL administrative

procedures. Additionally, servicing will be

per-formed when a need has been identified by

calibra-tion or other QC checks. Where regular

mainte-nance schedules are necessary, the schedules are

doc-umented in the analytical SOPs and tracked by the

laboratory manager to ensure that all maintenance

schedules are met. Maintenance repair/service file is

maintained for all equipment which includes

docu-mentation of the scheduled and unscheduled

mainte-nance and repair activities.

Contamination Management

Proper observance of laboratory procedures is

neces-sary to guarantee accuracy of results and the safety

of laboratory staff members. Contamination of

sam-ples, the environment, and reagents used in analysis

must be avoided to provide the highest quality,

legal-ly defensible data to our customers. In order to

achieve this goal, laboratory staff must adhere to

various preventative measures and use defined

test-ing procedures for contamination detection as

estab-lished by the QA manager.

Contamination is prevented through a combination

of good laboratory practice and housekeeping, as

well as analysis of blank samples and ambient air and

surface wipe samples taken from the laboratory. If

contamination is detected in any situation, the

source of contamination must be traced and the

problem resolved to prevent recurrence. All actions

taken to resolve a contamination circumstance will

be documented properly and completely in the

labo-ratory files.

Reporting Results

The customer report is, ultimately, our “final

prod-uct”. The quality of our report reflects on our

stan-dard of quality. Final customer reports are released

only after data has been approved by the laboratory

manager or designated qualified reviewers. This

review includes evaluation of quality control results,

calibration measurements, and other controls

specified by the method, SOP, and our QAM.

Electronic Data Deliverables (Exported Data)

EMSL delivers lab data in several different

electron-ic data formats to many different customers in

cus-tom and industry standard formats, including

SEDD, custom CSV formats, excel, PDF, word and

RTF formats. The electronically delivered data is

not intended to replace hard copy results. Final,

signed customer reports are delivered via mail in

addition to delivery by email or diskette. In this way,

exported data can be verified. Electronically

trans-mitted results must meet the requirements of the

QA policies with the export formats implemented

and controlled by the corporate IT staff, which has

the flexibility to implement new export formats as

required.

Results On-line via LabConnect®

Lab Reports, Chain-of-Custody, and Invoices are

available 24/7 via the internet on a secure customer

website portal. Documents are posted “real-time”

which allows remote customers to see their COC as

soon as EMSL processes the samples at log-in.

Once the report is reviewed and approved by an

authorized signatory, the report with electronic

signature is posted to the site as well. These PDF

documents can be printed by the customer and/or

inserted in the customer’s reports or on the

tomer’s common share sites, if necessary. The

tomer can do a search query for a result by the

cus-tomer project number or project name, sample

sub-mittal date, or the type of analysis. Customer billing

statements are also available on LabConnect® and

credit card payments can be made as well.

Customer Communications

EMSL seeks feedback from our customers regarding

Lab performance via our Customer Survey

(www.emsl.com – customer survey) as well as

maintaining an open dialogue policy between the

customer and the lab manager and/or National

Directors, the corporate team and/or the quality

assurance department. The goal of our open

dia-logue policy is clear, continuous and open

communi-cation between the laboratory and the customer

which is one of the keys to maintaining a successful,

quality operation. Communication should be

estab-lished prior to the start of any work so that any

cial instructions, precautions, and/or customer

spe-cific needs are clearly understood between

laborato-ry and the customer.

Customer complaints regarding the quality of data

received are thoroughly investigated by EMSL

laboratory management. Where errors are found,

they will be documented as a non-conformity and

handled via EMSL’s corrective action procedures.

Typically, if a customer makes a valid complaint

about a test result, the sample in question will be

reanalyzed where possible. If the second result

agrees with the original, the laboratory manager

shall advise the customer in writing that a quality

control check has confirmed the original analysis.

The laboratory manager or designee will promptly

communicate with the customer as it relates to the

performance of the analysis and turnaround time.

The laboratory must notify the customer if:

• Analysis is to be done at another EMSL

network location;

• Analysis cannot be performed on time;

• Integrity of the sample has been jeopardized

(either by the laboratory or the customer or

customers shipping/delivery carrier);

• A discrepancy in the analysis has been found

during QC analysis. If this deficiency directly

affects customer results, the customer will be

notified immediately of the problem.

Confidentiality

It is understood that confidentiality and proprietary

rights must be respected throughout the

perform-ance of services for any customer or for those that

may include national security concerns. Information

will not be given to those for whom it is not

intend-ed and the proprietary rights of our customer will be

protected. Data reports and/or other related

information will not be given out to any person

or agency other than the customer unless we have

received prior approval from the customer.

Q U A L I T Y C O N T R O L S

QA Oversight of Laboratory Quality

-Analytical Performance Criteria

Quality control is performed according to the scope

of the laboratories accreditation status and quality

control requirements for each type of analysis.

Performance criteria are maintained for both

individ-ual analysts and for the entire laboratory. The

stan-dards for acceptance criteria are documented in the

EMSL Standard Operating Procedure Manual and

the QA Manual. EMSL continuously monitors the

analytical performance of each laboratory and analyst.

Performance is determined using the following

crite-ria:

• Results from intra/inter-analyst,and/or

intra/inter laboratory QC results and round

robin testing plotted against control/

acceptance limits.

• Results from calibration measurements

plotted against control/acceptance limits.

• Lab performance in proficiency testing

programs.

• Results of internal and external on-site quality

audits. These audits will verify compliance

with all QA and QC policies as documented

in the EMSL Quality Assurance Manual and

related SOPs.

Demonstration of Traceability

The quality assurance program is designed to provide

a method which achieves traceability of data to

national standards. This is accomplished by setting

requirements, which include:

• Use of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs)

as certified and traceable to the National

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

SRMs are used for QC analysis and training

for achieving performance evaluations of

analysts and overall laboratory accuracy.

• Calibration of instrumentation against NIST

(non-EMSL) proficiency testing programs

• Analysis of consensus standards

Procedures for Dealing with

Non-conforming Work

Whenever a deviation from established requirements

(i.e., a non-conformity) is discovered, a corrective

action review will be initiated in order to determine

the root cause of the problem and decide on what

action can be taken to prevent reoccurrence. This

review may include a review of QC data, sample

tracking, data transcription, instrument calibration,

training documentation and discussion with

personnel. If the non-conformity resulted in a

deficiency that directly affects customer results, the

customer will be notified immediately of the problem.

After the implementation of corrective actions, the

laboratory will conduct follow-up activities to ensure

the effectiveness of those actions.

Customer Support and Access to QC Information

EMSL provides quality assurance information and

technical support to the customer to assure continued

quality service. The support and information

provid-ed in relation to the work performprovid-ed includes:

• Availability to Lab Accreditations/Certifications

applicable to the analysis provided;

• Availability of pertinent QC records;

• Access to the Quality Assurance Department

for technical assistance;

• Security of data (confidentiality);

• Reasonable access to the relevant areas of the

laboratory for the witnessing of analysis;

• Archive and record retention programs.

Quality control is the routine application of procedures for obtaining prescribed standards of performance in the

analytical process. EMSL’s quality control program is established and managed by the QA manager in

coopera-tion with the Nacoopera-tional Directors and ensures our laboratories are producing quality data. This process ensures

fulfillment of our commitment to our customers that our data is legally defensible, and that all personnel

per-form their responsibilities properly.

Quality control is performed continuously throughout the course of laboratory sample analysis regardless of

lab-oratory workload and is made part of the normal course of lablab-oratory sample analysis. QC data is graphed on

control charts designed specifically for each analysis type. Quality control is tracked and reviewed daily by the

lab manager as part of the sample process and final report approval process. Additionally, quality control

sum-mary reports are reviewed by the corporate Quality Assurance Department on a monthly basis.

Q U A L I T Y C O N T R O L S

Accreditation and Certification Programs

EMSL Analytical, Inc. maintains various

accredita-tions and certificaaccredita-tions all of which require active

and efficient QA/QC programs, participation in

proficiency testing programs, etc. with renewals

typically requiring on-site audits and continued

acceptable performance in proficiency testing. Labs

obtain necessary accreditations/certifications based

on the testing they provide and the state in which

they do the work. For individual state

certifica-tions, multiple labs in the network maintain that

state’s certification to ensure ample network

sup-port. If a customer requests new or additional

field-of-testing (FOT) certification for a project or

program, EMSL may seek to add that certification

dependent on the lab capability and the amount of

work associated with the request.

EMSL lab accreditation programs (see lab listing

for specific branch lab accreditation) typically

include NVLAP, AIHA, NELAC, A2LA, and home

state certifications as required such as NY ELAP,

CA ELAP, NJ DEP, PA DEP, FL DEP, LA DEQ,

etc.

Document Preparation and Control

In order to prepare and distribute documents in an

organized fashion, procedures for initiation,

prepa-ration, review, approval and issuance of controlled

copies will be followed. EMSL’s document control

program is a coordinated effort involving both

technical review and custodial control.

Laboratories are to use only approved, controlled

and current documents for all calibrations, analyses,

final reports, and other activities performed in this

laboratory.

Archive and Record Retention Policies

All records associated with analytical data are

stored in an organized, safe and retrievable fashion.

EMSL stores all records for a minimum of 5 years

unless otherwise stipulated by customer contract or

external agency requirements.

EMSL Analytical Inc. has over 30 years experience in providing Asbestos Laboratory

Services to Environmental/Asbestos Consultants, Engineering Companies, Remediation

Contractors as well as Government Agencies and Authorities. Our asbestos laboratory

network has the largest capacity for sample analysis in the world. This capability is a

function of the collective strength of the operation of our nationwide network of

individual laboratories located throughout the U.S. and in Canada.

Each laboratory has trained and experienced staff along with the necessary equipment

and instrumentation to provide quality asbestos analysis for Air, Water, Bulk, Soil and/or

Dust samples by various methodologies (NIOSH, EPA, ASTM, etc.) utilizing Polarized

Light Microscopy (PLM), Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), and Transmission Electron

Microscopy (TEM).

Each of our Asbestos Laboratories are accredited by NVLAP with additional certifications as needed per individual state

certification programs and/or AIHA / A2LA accreditation. The labs maintain a five to six day regular work day schedule

as well as emergency response plans for off hours and/or weekend operating hours. Samples are received during normal

work hours and Turn-Around-Times (TATs) are tracked when samples are received during normal operating hours of the

laboratory Analytical results Turn-Around-Times offered include same day (3 hr. and 6 hr.), 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, 4 day, 1 week,

and 2 week TATs. Costs/rates are weighted based on the Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week rates being the

most economically cost effective for our customers.

Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information

Management System (LIMS) which tracks the samples and individual projects to meet our clients’ specified due dates

and any special instruction requirements. Additionally, the LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information is

controlled and locked once the data has been entered by our analysts. Since all labs utilize the same LIMS, all reports

are standardized which helps allow us to use multiple labs on the large capacity projects while ensuring that the work

is complete and reported in the same format. Asbestos reports are delivered at the choice of the customer by email, fax,

and/or hard-copy regular mail. Additionally, all clients have 24/7 real time access to their reports, Chains of Custody,

and project invoices via our LabConnect® program. This is a security enabled extranet feature that provides various

search options so that our clients can find all project and invoicing information quickly and easily. Key tests include

programs such as Instrument QC controls, calibration standard checks, duplicates, and

reporting limit controls to ensure the confidence limits of the data are within the acceptable

range as specified by the method requirements and our Quality Control Programs.

Each of our Lead Labs are accredited by AIHA or A2LA and additional certification as needed per individual state and

city certifications, where applicable.. Lead Labs maintain a five or six day operational hours schedule as well as

emer-gency response plan for off hours and/or weekend operating hours. Samples are received during normal work hours and

turnaround times are tracked on business days from the time samples are received during normal operating hours of the

laboratory. Laboratories that maintain 24/7 hours (ie: NYC,) and/or extended routine hours, will track TAT’s during all

lab hours. Lead Analysis Turn-Around-Times offered include same day (3 hr. and 6 hr.), 24 hr, 48 hr, as well as 3 day, 4

day, 1 week, and 2 week TATs. Costs/rates are weighted based on the Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week

rates being the most economically cost effective for our customers.

Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information

Management System (LIMS) which tracks the samples and individual projects to meet our clients’ specified due dates

and any special instructions requirements. Additionally, the LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information

is controlled and locked once the data has been entered by our analysts. Since all labs utilize the same LIMS, all reports

are standardized which helps allow us to use multiple labs on the large capacity projects while ensuring that the work is

done and reported in the same format. The reports are delivered at the choice of the customer which would include

email, fax, and/or hard-copy regular mail. Additionally all clients have 24/7 real time access to their reports, Chains of

Custody, and project invoices via our LabConnect

program. This is a security enabled extranet feature that provides

various search options so that our clients can find all project and invoicing information quickly and easily.

EMSL Analytical Inc. provides Microbiology Laboratory Services for testing related to the

Environment and/or Indoor Air Quality at our network of laboratories in key cities

nationwide. Our qualified staff includes degreed (Ph.D.s, MSc, M.P.H.) microbiologists,

mycologists, and bacteriologists. Our bench analysts and technicians have a minimum

of a B.S. degree and must complete a rigorous training program before reporting results

independently. In addition to offering the traditional direct exams (spore traps and

tape lifts) and culture methodologies, we also use state of the art equipment such as

GC-FAME and PCR for identifying individual bacterial and fungal species.

Our key microbiology laboratories maintain accreditation under the American Industrial

Hygiene Association (AIHA) or the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation

(A2LA) environmental microbiology accreditation program. Additionally, we participate in

the U.S. CDC Environmental Legionella Isolation Techniques Evaluation (ELITE) Program

for Legionella analysis as well as state proficiency programs for bacteriological testing of drinking

water, wastewater, and sewage sludge. We also offer customized special project design for non-routine analysis

utilizing ASTM, USP, EPA, APHA, AATCC, ISO, JIS, NSF, OECD, MIL, ASM as well as internationally developed

test methodologies.

All Microbiology Labs maintain a five business day lab operation schedule. We have emergency response plans in place

for off hours and/or weekend operating hours when needed. Turn-Around-Times (TAT) are tracked by the number

of business days from the time samples are received in the lab. Microbiology TATs for direct exams include same day

(3 hr. and 6 hr.), 24 hour, 48 hour as well as 3 day, 4 day, 1 week, and 2 week TATs. Culture analyses are provided with

a 6-14 day turnaround based on the individual incubation period requirements. Costs/rates are weighted based on the

Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week TAT rates the most economically cost effective rates for our customers.

Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information

Management System (LIMS) which tracks individual projects to meet our clients’ specified due dates. Additionally, the

LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information is controlled and locked once the data has been entered

by our analysts. Since all labs utilize the same LIMS, all reports are standardized which allows for network support

(intra-lab transfer) for sample overcapacity issues. We offer a variety of reporting formats for our most popular tests

including our Expanded Fungal Report and ASSESSMENTReport™ for total spore count and direct exam analyses.

We can also design customized reporting options for long term and special projects. Reports are delivered depending

upon client preference (email, Lab-Connect®, fax, or all). All clients have 24/7 real time access to their reports, Chains

of Custody, and project invoices via our LabConnect® internet portal. This is a security-enabled extranet feature that

provides various search options so that our clients can find all project and invoicing information quickly and easily.
