Corporate Philosophy and History
Company Profile
CompuChem, a division of Liberty Analytical Corporation, offers a wide range of
analytical services to support environmental engineers, private industry, and state
and federal government agencies. Proficient in EPA and industry standard methods
for analyzing organic and inorganic contaminants in liquid, solid, and tissue samples,
the company combines the talent and experience of its staff with the latest instrumentation
to produce quality data.
This simple equation of excellence has seen the company provide, without failure,
legally defensible data to its customers almost three decades. The lab is located
near the Research Triangle Park (RTP) in Cary, North Carolina, and is less than
10 miles from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Our laboratory facility
has over 30,000 square feet of space divided proportionately between a number of
laboratory and support areas.
Corporate History
Founded in 1980 as Mead CompuChem, the company established itself as one of the
nation’s leading U.S. EPA contract laboratories. By the mid-1980s, our client base
had expanded to include both commercial firms and government agencies. The 1990s
found the company performing organic, inorganic, and wet chemistry analyses for
an impressive list of commercial and government clients. In 1996, the company underwent
management restructuring and became a part of Liberty Analytical Corporation. In
1997, the company purchased an 11-acre site and relocated to a new laboratory facility
in Cary, North Carolina.
Corporate Philosophy
To meet the demands of industry and maintain a strong relationship with the US EPA,
we have always been firmly committed to a stringent program of quality assurance,
which is described in detail in our Quality Manual. Each director, manager, supervisor,
and staff member must comply with the quality program requirements set forth in
our Quality Manual, and in its sister document, the complete Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) manual. We attempt to develop team relationship with our clients
and we strive to help solve problems that can be answered with valid data. We understand
the significance of long-term business relationships and our highly trained and
dedicated staff works with clients with the goal of fostering true and lasting partnerships.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to work towards a cleaner environment, providing quality analytical
services economically and efficiently. Our highly trained staff members work as
partners to our clients to support environmental solutions.
