PT samples have to be right. Your laboratory’s accreditation is at stake, so anything less than 100% confidence isjust not good enough.

That’s why we bring 20 years of multidisciplinary reference material manufacturing and certificationexperience into every step of our process. And that’s why our analytical validation specifications are morestringent than the current NELAC standards.

We start by certifying the purity of analyte source materials and then correcting sample assigned values forthis certified purity. This correction increases the certainty of the assigned value.

We document the accuracy of each formulation and the homogeneity of each batch by instrumental analysesof each analyte in each of nine samples taken from the production run. No sample is ever released into a PTstudy unless the results of this analytical process meets our acceptance limits; limits more stringent by 30%than the current NELAC standards.

We close the PT study by documenting the stability of every analyte in every sample. This is your assurancethat the sample was still right when your lab analyzed it.

Certified Accurate. Certified Homogeneous.

Certified Stable.Every Analyte. Every Time.

Much More Than On-Line Data Entry

3

Sure this QA process is intensive, but it works. In the nine years since PT privatization:

• We have never issued a PT report to a customer or accrediting agency containing inaccurately entered, reported or assigned values.

• We have never released a PT sample into a study with an inaccurate assigned value.

• We have never issued a broad based amendment of PT reports due to previously unidentified sample problems.

That’s our track record and we provide this performance at an exceptional value. All NPW and WS chemistry PT samples are always supplied in duplicate

for prices comparable to other industry providers.

Exceptional ValueWith Zero Defects

• Simplified on-line data entryand modification screens.

• Drop down screens for NELAC method andtechnology codes.

• Download your PT reports as pdf files.

• Monitor, sort, and review your PT results over time by methodsand analytes in each FOT.

• Electronically report results to accrediting authorities.

Maybe you need to demonstrate corrective action to your accrediting authority as a result of a poor result on a formalPT sample. Maybe you need to demonstrate proficiency for an initial accreditation. Perhaps you want to demonstratethe proficiency of an analyst so you can assign them to new important projects.

Whatever your reasons, when you need PT results NOW, look to NSI PT ExpressSM to meet your needs.

To participate, simply call NSI at 1-800-234-7837 to place your order. We’ll review our records to assure the sample youreceive has never been received by your lab or one of your network labs (a NELAC requirement). If required, we canship your samples the same day by overnight priority service so that you’ll have them the next morning.

Report your results back to us on the PT ExpressSM reporting forms that accompany your samples, or submit them on-line, and we’ll generate your PT report within 24 hours. We will also submit your PT report to one or multipleaccreditation agencies at no additional charge.

When one size doesn’t fit all...Let’s face it. The NELAC analyte list and concentration ranges are pretty narrow. Lot to lot concentration changestypical of most QC standards makes LIMS Management a nightmare. So, if you need something you can’t find inour catalog, call and we’ll work with you to design a solution.

Custom formulation represents a significant part of our business. We do it very well and we do it very fast. Wealways quote your requests within 24 hours and depending on the complexity of the project, turn around times canbe less than 48 hours.

Using the same expert craftsmanship and attention to detail used in manufacturing our line of stock products, wewill draw on our inventory of over 2000 chemicals to formulate a product just for you. To request a quote, call usat 1-800-234-7837 or fill out the form on page 22 and fax it to 919-957-7562.
