LAB TESTING & ANALYTICS

Evidence-grade results. Decisions you can defend.

BQCIS turns samples into clear, auditable answers—fast.

BQCIS delivers validated results, complete QA/QC trails, and QR-verifiable reports your stakeholders can trust—from metals and fuels to consumer goods, food/agri, and environmental media.

Why Teams Choose BQCIS Labs

Accuracy by design: control charts, CRMs, blanks, duplicates—documented in every batch.
Throughput with discipline: high-volume workflows that don’t compromise chain-of-custody.
Transparent reporting: method statements, instrument IDs, qualifiers/uncertainty, and a QR-secured certificate.

How Your Sample Becomes a Decision

Intake & Registration: barcode, CoC check, hold times logged.
Preparation: digestion/extraction, sub-sampling, batch controls.
Analysis: calibration, drift checks, instrument IDs.
Validation: recoveries, RPDs, LOQ/MDL checks, re-runs if needed.
Technical Review: applicability, uncertainty, historical checks.
Reporting: results + QA/QC summary, QR certificate, CSV/JSON optional.
Archiving: data, CoC, and retained sample policy applied.

QA/QC Framework (Visible in Every Report)

Controls: blanks, spikes/CRMs, duplicates.
Acceptance criteria: recovery windows, RPD limits, calibration checks.
Detection rigor: MDL/LOQ annual verification.
Uncertainty & qualifiers explained.
Comparability: inter-lab studies/round robins.
Change control: method versioning; maintenance logs traceable to runs.

Sample Submission Guide

Containers & Volumes:

Waters: 2×1 L, preserved/non-preserved; amber glass for organics.
Oils/fuels: 2×500 mL glass/metal; minimal headspace.
Solids/ores: 2–5 kg composite in clean bags/tins; moisture tin sealed.
Food/agri: 1–2 kg composite; chilled if perishable.
Consumer items: 2–5 exemplars; label contact surfaces.

Checks: seals, labeling, temp, cross-contamination prevention.

CoC essentials: IDs, matrix, requested panels, preservatives, hazards.

Packaging/shipping: secondary containment; cold-chain if required.

Turnaround Tiers & Scheduling

Express: 24–48 h for rapid analytes/matrices.
Standard: predictable routine cadence.
Complex: multi-method or extended investigations.

Capacity signals shared: logged time • queue time • run time • validation time • on-time %.
