Lab Establishment / Project Consultancy
ATCL provides new lab establishment services to other
laboratories, manufacturers and universities. With this service,
laboratories, manufacturers and universities can establish an entire new
laboratory in their facility or simply bring in a new test. These services are ideal for the organization that doesn’t have the internal expertise to: ATCL staff will help your staff perform all of those
requirements. With a simple phone call to our staff, you will have the
correct instrument and trained staff in your laboratory performing the
test within a reasonable timeframe. ATCL staff will discuss testing needs with your staff in detail
to understand which method is required. If there isn’t a commercial or
nationally recognized method available, we can create one for you. If
there isn’t a commercial or nationally recognized method available for
the test, ATCL will prepare a method for the analysis.
Once the method document is prepared, we’ll verify its performance by
checking it for Accuracy, Precision, Specificity, Limits of
Detection/Quantitation, Linearity and Range. We will also report all of
the findings to you in a method development report. This approach
gives the customer the opportunity to see how well the method will
perform before they invest in the instrumentation. After
the method has been determined, ATCL Staff will purchase all of
the correct instrumentation and supplies, and arrange for them to be
shipped to our customer’s site. ATCL will provide the
customer with the list of required instrumentation, supplies and
vendors. That way our customers know where to get the items they need. We
all like to save money, right? Sometimes there is no other choice but
to buy a new instrument from an instrument manufacturer. However, when
there is opportunity to purchase a lightly used or demo instrument at a
considerable savings, rest assured that we’ll present that option to
you. When the instrument is
delivered at our customer’s site, we will spend several days at the site
to install it. This includes hooking up all power, gas, water, etc the
instrument requires. Once completed, we provide the customer with
a field report on the installation and training certificates for each
of the technicians. Once installed, we’ll check the performance of the instrument to make sure it is running as it should. When
the instrument has been shown to be installed and performing as
expected, we’ll test it further by using it to run the method. When
everything is satisfactory with the instrument and method, we’ll train
your technicians how to use the instrument and run the method. When
we leave, rest assured that we stand behind the work with our service
warranty. If you have any issues with the instrument or method during
the warranty period, you can call us to work it out. If we can’t work
it out, we’ll send someone to your site to help you figure it out.Introduction
