The soils product line has been under development for more than a year, and APG says it has committed more than US$100,000 in new capital equipment to support this project.
Analytical Products Group (APG) says it understands that its customers need a proficiency testing (PT) provider that is flexible and able to adapt to new markets and regulatory needs.
As a result, it is meeting the evolving needs of its customers by adding microbiological and soil PT samples.
In the last quarter of 2004, APG introduced wastewater (WP) and drinking water (WS) microbiological PT and QC samples.
The WP microbiological samples are available each year in February, April, July, and October.
The WS microbiological samples are available with each bi-monthly study.
APG's microbiological testing capabilities will be expanded during 2005 to support the additional needs of the environmental market.
APG will release the first trial soil and hazardous waste PT study in March 2005, and the second trial will be offered in the second quarter of 2005.
Each trial will include a full set of Nelac RCRA soil PT samples.
It is expected that State-specific soil samples will be offered in the fourth quarter of 2005.
