Quality Assurance in Laboratory Services

By Robert Makawa24 February 20264 min read90 views

How Eagrochels maintains high analytical quality through Standard Operating Procedures, internal quality control, and proficiency testing.

The laboratory operates under established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and maintains a robust internal quality control system, including participation in soil analysis proficiency testing. All analytical work is supported by the routine use of calibrated controls and certified reference materials, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and traceability of results.

Our Quality Commitment

We assure our clients that all data generated by our laboratory are of high analytical quality and suitable for decision-making, quality monitoring, research applications, soil health assessment, and land remediation programmes.

Expertise and Experience

Our technical staff bring many years of experience working on a wide range of soil and fertiliser-related research and analytical projects. These have included laboratory analyses of soil, fertilisers, manures, and water across agricultural, environmental, and research settings.

This breadth of experience has enabled us to develop strong technical expertise and a deep understanding of analytical requirements, ensuring reliable results and professional support for our clients.

Key Quality Measures

  • Established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all analytical methods
  • Routine use of calibrated controls and certified reference materials
  • Participation in soil analysis proficiency testing schemes
  • Internal quality control checks on all batches
  • Traceability of all results from sample receipt to report delivery
