Our laboratories are still open and reliably carry out your analyses.
Feel free to use our Live Chat if you have any questions or send your inquiry at office@lifeprint.de.
A large number of well-established internal control systems and measures ensure the high quality standard of our analytical department. Continuous monitoring and, if possible, optimisation of processes is standard business practice for us.
The rooms are laid out in such a way that the process of sample handling is conducted in a strict “One-Way-System”, thus ensuring that your order can be processed without samples being contaminated.
Regular and successful external adits confirm our outstanding results in international interlaboratory tests and comparison studies in cooperation with the authorities, for instance. In addition, we have also been invited several times to participate in validations studies of the European Commission. We have been accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (DAP-PL 3515.00) since 2002.
We will always subject your measurement results to critical analysis. We do not churn out measurement data en masse, but instead carefully scrutinize and evaluate every one of your results. The combination of all those criteria mentioned makes us stand out from many other laboratories, and that is indeed something we are proud of.
