What to look for in an analytical lab?

The appropriate lab combines deep scientific expertise, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and a commitment to quality. Whether one is troubleshooting a packaging issue or validating a new container system, the appropriate lab will provide the insights needed to make informed decisions.

The appropriate lab is fully ISO17025 accredited.  This means that the appropriate lab has been third party vetted for its systems, processes, and procedures to ensure that our high quality data stays completely confidential, impartial, and secure.

If a lab appears new to the market, understanding its area of expertise and ensuring its quality systems can save a lot of headache.  Perhaps this lab is a subsidiary of a larger, trusted company.  Always be alert to the systems, customer responsiveness, and ease of the process when working with a newer lab.

Gerresheimer Glass has spent years developing this lab and its personnel for use internally.  The Gerresheimer lab is backed by the glass knowledge and expertise on-site.
