APG Releases the Advantage
APG is pleased to announce the introduction of a new range of services called Advantage that will improve your laboratory's accreditation and quality improvement. The Advantage Reporting Tool will simplify your accreditation management, demonstrate quality to your clients, and decrease your overall costs to maintain accreditations. The Advantage Training Verification Tool will improve the quality of your training program by decreasing the time you have to spend organizing the training requirements to meet NELAC or 17025. It is a complete, turnkey solution for your laboratory. APG has also expanded our product line to include WP, WS, Microbiological, WETT, and Soils proficiency testing samples to help you gain the advantage in 2005.
