Survey-Maintaining Demonstrations of Capabilities

Please complete the survey for your chance to win $150 American Express gift card!

The NELAC and ISO 17025 standards require that all analysts must prove they are qualified to run every method and analyte the lab is accredited for. This can be a lot of paperwork and take a lot of time to manage. APG understands that lab managers are busy. That is why we designed a training system to maintain all your analysts' Demonstrations of Capabilities. Simply setup your SOPs, purchase training samples, enter the data and receive instant results. Our system will keep records that are available online to keep your analysts' training up to date.

Email p.kozlow@apgqa.com for a personalized demonstration of this system and save yourself time and money!
