LQSi PROFICIENCY TEST PROGRAM PROCESSES

LQSi manufactures samples to rigorous specifications; distributes samples globally; compiles, warehouses, and statistically analyzes test and methods data; and provides timely, informative, and detailed (but concise) reports!

The feedstock is dried to equilibrium with the atmosphere in which further preparation will occur.

The feedstock is crushed to the approximate distribution topsize and dried again, if necessary.

The feedstock is sieved at the appropriate sieve size, with the oversize being returned to the crushing process step.

The sieved material is blended.

The blended material is fed into sample containers on a carousel, providing hundreds of sample increments per package.

The material is securely packaged, sealed, and identified.

The material is subjected to homogeneity testing.

The material is securely stored until it is time to distribute the samples.

The samples are distributed to the participants.

Data is returned, analyzed, and warehoused in a secure, password-protected environment, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of our Clients’ data.

Reports are prepared and electronically distributed to the designated recipients.
