Performance Evaluation

ASI participates in an extensive program of third party performance evaluation sample testing. Using these programs, our performance is measured through the analysis of blind samples containing targets analytes at unknown concentrations. Hundreds of analytes are included in these studies for each matrix included in our various accreditations. ASI consistently scores in the >95% “acceptable” range for these studies. On the rare occasion that an analyte does not recover in the acceptable range, a thorough corrective action is initiated to determine the cause of the unexpected result and correct the process. The affected test must then be repeated with acceptable performance demonstrated to maintain accreditation for that analyte. Recent PE sample performance reports are listed below for your review.
