Laboratory Analysis & Data Interpretation
Results with the meaning attached
Accredited laboratory analysis, reported with the interpretation that turns a column of numbers into a decision.
A results table is not a finding
Most laboratory reports hand over a table and leave the reader to work out what it means. For a facility that has to act on the result, that is the least useful half of the job.
What matters is which numbers breached which limit, what the likely cause was, whether the trend is moving in the wrong direction, and what should happen next. That requires someone who understands both the analysis and the regulatory context it sits in.
What the service covers
Water and effluent analysis
Physical, chemical and microbiological determinands analysed to accredited methods against your discharge conditions.
Soil and waste analysis
Contaminant screening and waste classification analysis, including the determinands that decide disposal routing.
Air sample analysis
Laboratory analysis of media collected during sampling campaigns, reported with the field conditions attached.
Data interpretation
Results compared against applicable criteria, with exceedances, likely causes and recommended actions stated.
Trend analysis
Results tracked across cycles so a drift toward a limit is visible before it becomes an exceedance.
How the work runs
Receive
Samples are checked on receipt against custody records and holding times.
Analyse
Analysis is carried out to the referenced method under accreditation.
Verify
Quality control checks are applied before any result is released.
Interpret
Results are set against the applicable limits and reported with findings.
A result is only as good as the method behind it.
Have your conditions reviewedWhat you get out of it
QC before release
Quality control checks are applied before any result leaves the laboratory.
Compared against your limits
Results arrive set against the criteria that apply to you, not as an unreferenced table.
Cause identified
Where a result is out of limit, the likely cause is stated rather than left as an exercise.
Tracked across cycles
Results are held so a developing trend is visible before any single result breaches.
Who uses laboratory analysis
Permitted facilities
Compliance monitoring generates a continuous stream of samples, and the interpretation is what makes the data useful rather than merely filed.
Discuss your siteWaste producers
Classification analysis determines disposal routing, and getting it wrong is both a compliance and a cost problem.
Discuss your siteSite investigations
Contamination assessment depends on analysis, and the interpretation drives remediation decisions worth far more than the testing.
Discuss your siteProcess operators
Analysis through a treatment process shows where performance is being lost, which routine compliance sampling alone will not reveal.
Discuss your siteDue diligence
Transaction decisions rest on analytical results, and the interpretation is what the buyer is actually paying for.
Discuss your siteIncident response
Rapid analysis after a release establishes extent and severity while the response can still be adjusted.
