How laboratory testing is commissioned
A food producer sends samples because a buyer requires results, an export market demands them, or an inspection is scheduled. The only questions are whether your accreditation covers that test, which method you use, how fast results arrive and what it costs. Laboratories that present a service list and a phone number lose to one that published a test catalogue with turnaround times.
What we build for a lab
First, a test catalogue with methods, accreditation scope and turnaround times, since accreditation for the specific test is what makes a result usable at all. Second, pricing published per test, because clients comparing laboratories cannot without it and will not call three places. Third, sample submission with labelling and courier instructions, reducing the rejected samples that delay everyone. Fourth, a results portal with protocol history, which is what makes a laboratory the default for a producer testing monthly.
