USEPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP)

Since 1981, our analytical expertise in providing routine analytical services (RAS) has allowed CompuChem to handle multiple organic and inorganic sample analysis bid lots for the U.S. EPA and to offer CLP-like services to other government and commercial clients. We are also one, if not the largest, providers of Modified (Flex) Analysis to the USEPA in the Contract Lab Program.

CompuChem has chosen to be an active participant in the EPA CLP because the program involves the leading edge in environmental analytical testing methodologies. While the CLP supports CERCLA activities, the methods used in the program are literally state-of-the-art. The quality oversight program associated with the CLP enhances all of our analytical testing processes. Quarterly blind performance evaluation (PE) samples (for both the organic and inorganic programs) substantiate our analytical performance. For organic analyses, the Contract Laboratory Program is the only one having a GC/MS tape-auditing program that confirms compliance. Also, on a yearly basis, participating laboratories are subjected to an on-site audit, conducted by technical and evidentiary personnel to verify that requisite technical and quality systems are in place. Finally, the CLP has a contract compliance screening (CCS) component, which assesses the hardcopy and electronic deliverables, to ensure technical and deliverable requirements have been met. Each sample reported to the EPA undergoes strict CCS.
