Spectro's Philosophy in Laboratory Testing – Quality over Quantity

             Today's global economy is characterized by extreme competition in every field of business, be it the manufacturing sector or the supporting services sector, due to use of high-end technology, innovative way of working, and availability of skilled manpower. One very important aspect of contemporary trade is the requirement that a particular product or commodity should conform to a certain set of specifications as laid down in various national and international standards. This forms the basis of agreement between the trading parties, viz., exporter and buyer of a particular commodity/item. Other requirements or conditions necessary to be fulfilled by business bodies include mainly the government regulations, like EPA, FSSAI, FDA, RoHS etc, besides some technical specifications as agreed between the concerned parties. Assessment of Quality of a product or commodity is achieved by use of services provided by Third Party Testing Laboratories, Contract Research Organizations etc. Further, the quality of these laboratories have to be evaluated before any company should enroll their services. 

There are a number of key factors that confer a laboratory the winning edge over its competitors:
  • Accreditations, Approvals, & Certifications obtained by a laboratory give credence to its Quality System, mode of working, and also assures reliability of the test results in terms of Accuracy & Precision
  • Availability of sophisticated and calibrated analytical instruments, which ensures high throughput and low turnaround time. It also helps mitigate human error factor.
  • Implementation of Laboratory Information Management System for better coordination of all the activities forming part of testing
  • Provision of customized services besides routine & non-routine services, which would attract more innovative business enterprises and budding business companies
  • Facilitating understanding of the test reports in terms of interpretation and applications
  • Provision of additional allied services, like sample pickup at customer's end and sample registration, that would complement the main services
  • Reasonable testing charges and easy mode of payment
  • Competent Customer Care Services to enable better communication between the clients and the testing laboratory

It is hard to find a laboratory possessing all the above-mentioned attributes, but these are guidelines that any company desirous of conducting its business efficiently should take into consideration.
