The staff at the Houston Laboratory is often asked to "referee" laboratory results when conflicting data are reported from two or more laboratories analyzing the same sample. Often we will reanalyze the sample and serve as an impartial source of analysis of the data in question.
In pursuit of our mission, our scientists must keep current on the latest
developments in analytical methodology and techniques. This often means
the quick adaptation of current "state of the art" techniques
and instrumentation. At the Houston Laboratory, we strive to remain current
on emerging methodologies and analytical techniques. Often this entails
the adaptation of a method to current technologies for accommodation to
ever increasing workloads.
