Stimulus Package From QLab!
 
Premium Spore Count Offered at Basic Rate

The economy is tough. QLab will help you out! From now on till end of 2010 (may be extended further), QLab is offering its proprietary premium spore count, "High Performance Spore Count"(TM) to selected professionals at basic spore count rate!

We all know that basic spore count results are highly variable and un-reproducible. Instead of giving up on poor air sampling results, why don't you come and experience QLab's reputable "High Performance Spore Count"(TM).?

Similar service is currently being offered at over $62 per sample in other labs without many features of "High Performance Spore Count"(TM). Discount rate of $35 per sample (more than 40% lower then competitors' rate) will be available from QLab to members of AIHA, IAQA and other selected organizations through out 2009/2010 and may be extended further. You can either charge your clients at premium rate and pay QLab the basic rate or charge your clients the same fee, but offer the "free upgrade" to premium lab services to beat the competition.

You are not alone if you feel the economy is not getting better anytime soon. Do something and call us today to see how QLab can help you excel at a more difficult and more competitive time.


Are You Using a Money-Making Mega Lab or a Client-Serving Boutique Lab?
 
QLab... Just Like Your Own Personal Lab!

We all know that your lab can either be your best friend or your worst enemy! If standing between you and your customers is a "Money-Making Mega Lab" with un- reproducible data and watered-down cheap services, it is no wonder that your business is not growing the way you want it to grow. Quality analyses with personal attention from QLab can help you grow your business like no one else!

We typically help companies that have been frustrated with unsatisfying services from their current microbiology lab on issues such as:
(1) poor technical support
(2) no personal attention
(3) inconsistent results
(4) project delay; slow turnaround time
(5) reports not making sense
(6) lack of ethics

Call us today, and experience how some of your competitors have been gaining their advantage by using QLab's services!


MoldSense SweepSwab
 
The Right Swab for Quantitative Surface Microbial Sampling

Common swab, swab-in-a-tube, and nylon-flocked swab are currently available for indoor surface microbial sampling. Common swab is designed to take clinical samples for presence/absence results. It can be used to collect loose bacteria and mold spores on a smooth surface. However, its long handle designed for patient's comfort is too soft and flexible for collecting mold growth. Its Q-Tip type head also has limited capacity to collect fungal biomass. The sponge or gel in the container to keep the swab tip moist will retain portion of the sample and reduce recovery rate in laboratory preparation, thus create negative bias in the results.

Swab-in-a-tube (3M Swab-Sampler) has a short handle and no sponge or gel in the container. It's designed for collecting environmental samples. However, the collection and recovery efficiency is still limited by the Q-Tip type swab head. MoldSense SweepSwabs are nylon-flocked swabs, which has a brush-like head full of small nylon fibers. Both the collection and recovery efficiency are higher than common swabs. If quantitative analysis result is desired, MoldSense SweepSwab is the right choice of sampling device.
