AAL offers support services to our clients to facilitate project
completion and minimize potential problems associated with
sample shipment.
Courier
Service – AAL
provides bottle delivery and sample pick-up service for all
of Long Island, and generally within a 50-mile radius of
Metropolitan New York (including Northern New Jersey and
Southern Connecticut.) AAL provides our clients with all
the required materials for sample collection including sample
bottles, preservatives, sample labels, chain of custody documents
and transportation coolers.
Field
Sampling Support – AAL
offers field-sampling support to assist clients with sampling
activities. Our experience has included projects associated
with groundwater and wastewater monitoring, as well as remedial
investigations (i.e. soil, core and waste pile sampling.)
In addition, AAL has experience with air sampling for personal
protection and ambient quality. All AAL field technicians
have completed 40-hour OSHA safety-training courses (and
refresher courses as applicable.)
Laboratory Information Management
System (LIMs):
AAL has implemented a state of the art Laboratory Information
Management System. All lab instrumentation is directly interfaced
and imported into the software program, which allows for
enhanced efficiency while improving the quality of the data
provided.
This comprehensive system covers sample login, sample tracking,
hard copy report generation, electronic data deliverables
and invoicing.
AAL has electronic data capabilities in Excel, PDF, GIS
Key and NJDEP Haz Site formats. These modules are available
for all laboratory-generated data. The database also allows
for field sampling information to be captured.
In addition, all of the appropriate links are included for
the strict demands on Quality Control. Matrix Spikes, Matrix
Spike Duplicates, as well as Method Blanks and Laboratory
Control Samples are linked automatically and handled very
efficiently with the LIMS.
Laboratory Instrumentation
AAL operates a fully equipped in-house laboratory,
with instrumentation redundancy, which minimizes downtime
and maximizes data TAT times. All major equipment is maintained
under service contracts. AAL’s major instrumentation
