The Quality Assurance Unit consists of dedicated professionals who support the laboratory and field studies. With science degrees over 20 cumulative years of QAU experience and active participation in the Society of Quality Assurance we go beyond the desk setting to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality.

We accomplish this by:

• Hosting EPA audits to ensure that our data and facilities meet the required GLP regulations

• Ensuring that our personnel are fully knowledgeable of GLP procedures through continued training and auditing processes

• Supporting our field research studies through on site, study and facility auditing

• Maintaining QAU database records of inspections and protocols as required

• Conducting systematic reviews of all laboratory practices and records

• Maintaining the SOP systems for all laboratory safety and QAU activities

• Taking a lead role in QAU activities, via active participation in professional societies, presentations and publications in journaled articles and guidance documents
