Scheduled QA Testing That Keeps You in Compliance.

Routine, scheduled programs that keep your operations in compliance and your processes under control — set up around your facility's requirements and production cycles.

Ongoing Testing, Handled

Many of our clients rely on IAS for ongoing, scheduled quality-assurance testing. We set up a program tailored to your compliance requirements, production cycles, or internal quality standards — and we handle the logistics.

Accounts are easy to open, repeat submissions are simple, and your results come back clearly and on schedule.

Environmental monitoring, water, process streams and surfaces.

Cooling Tower & Dialysis Water

Cooling-tower chemistry and biology, plus full-panel dialysis water monitoring.

Raw Material & Release QC

Raw-material and in-process QC plus finished-product release testing.

Food & Dairy Testing

Microbiology, contaminants and quality testing for dairy and food producers.

Filtration Efficacy Testing

Programs that validate filter and membrane performance against your specifications.

Product Quality

Finished-product quality testing to support release and shelf-life programs.

Custom Method Development

Customized testing — methods built around your analyte, matrix or specification.

Reagent Water Standard

ASTM D1193 — Reagent-Grade Water Specification

ASTM D1193 is the standard specification that defines the requirements for reagent-grade water used in laboratory and analytical testing. It establishes quality parameters across four purity levels (Type I through Type IV) to ensure water does not interfere with chemical analyses. Testing protocols and allowable contaminant limits vary significantly depending on the assigned Type.

Type I

The highest purity, used for sensitive procedures such as trace metal analysis, HPLC, and gas chromatography. Requires a minimum electrical resistivity of 18 MΩ·cm at 25°C and a maximum Total Organic Carbon (TOC) of 50 ppb.

Type II

Used for general laboratory practices, reagent preparation, and qualitative analyses. Requires a resistivity of 1.0 MΩ·cm at 25°C and TOC up to 50 ppb.

Type III

Intended for routine analyses, glassware washing, and rinsing. Requires a resistivity of 4.0 MΩ·cm at 25°C and TOC up to 200 ppb.

Type IV

For general laboratory use where lower purity is acceptable. Requires a resistivity of 0.2 MΩ·cm at 25°C.
