AQS specializes in environmental data quality, quality documentation, laboratory consulting and third-party data validation. Our analytical personnel have experience in all aspects of environmental testing – from field operations to regulatory review.
We help our clients develop project quality control procedures & documents and evaluate performance of field and laboratory activities.
AQS personnel are experts in the analytical requirements for major environmental programs including RCRA, Superfund, Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Drinking Water and NEPA. We not only understand how analytical data is generated but why and how it is used to support compliance and restoration decisions. We work closely with clients, regulators and laboratories to develop a project specific Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP), Sampling & Analysis Plan (SAP) and other required procedures for data collection, generation, and use. Involving AQS up front will save money by minimizing costly sampling, analysis and data collection mistakes.
AQS develops procedures and tools for assessing environmental laboratories in accordance with client or program-specific requirements. These software programs include an on-site audit tool and online performance testing (PT) checker.
AQS works with customers to collect, manage and interpret technical project data. Our programmers specialize in developing applications and reports to ensure the quality and applicability of analytical test data. We work in a variety of programming languages, data transfer protocols and database formats.
Our experienced chemists provide data validation for environmental projects to ensure that analytical data meets all method and project QA requirements.
AQS analytical chemists understand the requirements for environmental testing and quality assurance. Our independent validation helps ensure that analytical results are technically and legally defensible and that project requirements have been met. Our validation experience includes US Environmental Protection Agency (CLP Program), US Army Corps of Engineers, US Department of Defense and most state programs.
AQS DVLive, our electronic data validation software, is used to import electronic data deliverables (EDDs) directly from the laboratory and perform more than 200 checks to evaluate data quality and usability. Experienced analytical chemists review results and perform manual validation checks to produce a complete validation report.

AQS has developed a variety of software tools to help ensure analytical data quality. These include project and client-specific programs and databases. AQS’s QAManager® includes modules specifically designed for laboratory accrediting bodies (ABs), laboratories and data validators.
For our laboratory clients, we provide management and quality assurance support to help ensure that they maintain quality standards and accreditation.
AQS chemists help environmental laboratories development, implement and maintain laboratory quality assurance (QA) programs. Our objective is to ensure that analytical data is of a consistently high quality, defensible and usable as intended. AQS assessors include experienced state auditors, laboratory directors, quality assurance officers, and bench chemists. Our experience includes many state and national accreditation programs including the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC), The NELAC Institute (TNI) and others.
