At Fairway Laboratories, we understand that the work we do is a critical ingredient in our clients’ efforts to provide a safe environment for their communities, employees, and customers. Therefore, we are dedicated to maintaining a staff of highly skilled employees who are experts in their designated fields, and we provide our staff with the state-of-the-art tools required to perform each job correctly and efficiently the first time... and every time.
Unlike some other testing labs, Fairway Laboratories performs its tests in-house. We are NELAP-certified, use only DEP-approved testing methods, and our dedication to unmatched, customer service is evident:
- Free shipping of sampling materials
- On-site pick-up of client-collected samples or field sampling done by our experienced staff
- Rapid turnaround, with immediate notification of outside-of-limit test results
- Automated reporting to DEP and other required regulatory agencies
- Competitive pricing
The laboratory information management system, or LIMS, is a key part of any laboratory, and since 2001, Fairway Laboratories has relied on the Element DataSystem (Element) by Promium.
Element was developed by environmental laboratory scientists and enables us to manage the extensive details involved with sample tracking, analysis, quality control, and reporting, in order to provide timely, accurate results.
Our clients benefit directly from many of Element’s features:
- "Client Connect," which allows our clients to obtain project status and report information for their samples via a secure Internet connection.
- Automatic data uploads from certain analytical instruments, which eliminates manual data entry and potential for entry errors.
- Data packages can be quickly and efficiently generated because of the electronic organization of the samples, results, and quality assurance measures.
- Digital data enables the creation of results in various electronic data formats that can be saved on disk or emailed.
