Our data quality is derived from good scientific practices and EPA protocols, including:
  • Historical or daily calibration curves that define the working range of each instrument.
  • Daily initial standards and method blanks to verify calibration curves.
  • Quality control check standards analyzed periodically each day to verify instrument performance.
  • Surrogate standards added whenever possible to validate the extraction of each sample.
  • Quality control data such as LCS, LCSD, spike, spike duplicate, surrogate recoveries, sample duplicate, and / or serial dilutions accompany all reports.
  • Participation in blind third party performance evaluation tests.
In addition to high quality and cost savings, McCampbell Analytical has the following advantages:
  • Diverse testing capabilities and significant sample capacities provide both flexibility and speed
  • Extensive selection of compounds that can be added to a method’s basic target list
  • Ability to set up for exotic compounds/ new analytes at a reasonable cost
  • Comprehensive pesticide and organometallic analyte capabilities
  • Expertise to characterize fuels for site investigation projects
  • Second detector and/or second column data eliminates false positives, even near the detection limit
  • Very low error rate in all facets of our laboratory operation
  • Excellent customer support group to answer questions and respond to your needs
  • Many different electronic deliverable formats available, including COELT, Geotracker and PDF, as well as client customized styles
MAI’s core competency is environmental testing. However, we have extensive capabilities beyond the environmental field using analytical methodologies published by organizations such as:
