Laboratory Quality
AQS provides laboratory quality, data validation, and quality system support for environmental programs. Our team includes experienced chemists, auditors, and data specialists who understand how analytical data is generated, evaluated, and used to support regulatory and compliance decisions.
Project Data Quality
We help clients establish and maintain defensible data quality from project planning through final reporting.
Our services include:
- Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs)
- Sampling & Analysis Plans (SAPs)
- Project-specific QA/QC procedures
- Evaluation of field and laboratory performance
We work closely with clients, regulators, and laboratories to ensure that data collection and analysis meet program requirements. Early involvement helps prevent costly errors and improves overall project efficiency.
Environmental Data Validation
Our chemists provide independent data validation to confirm that analytical results meet method, program, and project requirements.
We support a wide range of programs, including EPA CLP, USACE, DoD, and state regulatory agencies. Our validation process ensures that data is technically sound, complete, and legally defensible.
We also utilize advanced tools, including AI, to:
- Import and review electronic data deliverables (EDDs)
- Perform automated and manual QA/QC checks
- Generate clear, comprehensive validation reports
Laboratory Quality Systems & Consulting
We support environmental laboratories in developing, implementing, and maintaining effective quality systems.
Our experience includes TNI/NELAC and state accreditation programs, with expertise spanning:
- Quality manuals and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- Internal audits and technical assessments
- Corrective action and continuous improvement processes
- Staff training and QA oversight
Our team includes former state auditors, laboratory directors, QA officers, and bench chemists—bringing practical, real-world insight to every engagement.
