Babcock Laboratories: 

Now ISO 17025 Accredited through A2LA

A2LA ISO 17025 Cer 2012
ESB's A2LA Certificate

 

Babcock Labs is proud to announce a new line of testing services!  On January 19, 2012, our lab received official notification of accreditation through the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) for the bacteriological testing of beverage and food products.  This new line of testing will allow us to become a "one stop shop" for our clients in the food and beverage industry.

 

The health and welfare of the public is a top priority for all food and beverage manufacturers. With these new test offerings, our laboratory will provide customers with unparalleled service and value in achieving this goal.  Our long history of microbiological testing provides the foundation for our current expertise in both food and environmental bacteriology.  Food and beverage clients can rely on our assistance with bacteriological monitoring to help ensure the quality and safety of their products.

 

Adding third party accreditation is an extensive and rigorous  process.  While many labs are unwilling to invest the time and resources necessary to do this, Babcock Labs is dedicated to providing our clients with the kind of quality assurance A2LA accreditation confers.  To continue click here

ESB Customer Value Proposition of the Month:  
ESB's Rigorous and Proactive Quality Assurance Program
In addition to being to being certified by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) for over 84 years and certified by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) for 10 years, ESB offers added quality control measures that you may not be aware of.  For example, the laboratory routinely verifies anyQuality Check drinking water result that is at or above the maximum contaminant level (MCL), unless it is historically expected.  Even though this a not a method requirement, the laboratory takes many additional quality control steps as part of Good Laboratory Practices to validate your results. This cost effective service saves customers both time and money.

Public Communications Program: 

Why Isn't Water Valued as an Invaluable Resource?

 

The cost of treating and delivering water is going up while revenues are declining. Many water agencies are faced with the daunting task of trying to sell rate increases to their customers. How can water purveyors communicate the "true value" of the product they sell? Join us as we welcome Edward G. Means, Vice President at ARCADIS, Inc. as he shares his insight into public perceptions and the actual value people receive for their water. And John Ruetten, President at Resource Trends, Inc. who will discuss strategies for communicating with the public about this sensitive topic. To register for this event click here.
