“I am very pleased with our outcomes after implementing your Municipal Laboratory Development Program. With help from your QA officer, we have completed all of the standard operating procedures for the laboratory. We have introduced several quality assurance and quality control activities and have greatly improved our documentation. Our lab is now in a much stronger position to provide data that is compliant to current methodology and will be more defensible when challenged. This year, we have worked on our calibration system and established documentation of method-detection limits. The documentation will help provide evidence that the laboratory is compliant with current practices. We couldn’t be happier with our working relationship with your staff, and we look forward to a continuation of training as all laboratories move closer to the state Laboratory Certification Program.”

Guiding Your Laboratory to Excellence

Laboratories are held to rigorous standards, whether those standards come from increased review of data or full-scale accreditation requirements. Regardless of the motive, laboratories must strive for continuous improvement. Although several states have implemented mandatory accreditation, and others are expected to follow suit, many laboratories are not prepared to meet (and continue to meet) accreditation standards. Accrediting bodies expect laboratories to have an established quality system, controlled documents and procedures, and legally defensible data output. The accreditation process is meant to ensure defensible data generation, as well as to inspire competence, confidence, and professional growth in a laboratory. Without a helping hand, accreditation can be a daunting task. But laboratories can seize this opportunity to get on the right track, and they do not have to do the work alone: Beacon can illuminate the path to accreditation and laboratory excellence.


Alloway’s Beacon was designed to comply with national and state-recognized program requirements, and it addresses the core issues of laboratory development. Beacon provides the documents, forms, software, and training necessary for a laboratory to successfully obtain and maintain accreditation status, pass audits and regulatory visits, and generate defensible data. Beacon is comprised of four integrated sets of products and services: Quality Assurance System, Analytical Process System, Process-Control Software, and Service and Support. When implemented, Beacon functions as a total laboratory solution, enabling a laboratory to meet the challenges of accreditation and move forward with greater confidence in its operations.


If your laboratory is looking for an all-inclusive solution to accreditation preparation, or you simply want to be a better laboratory, Beacon can be your guiding light. Beacon provides excellent products and superior service. You will not find a more comprehensive, cost-effective solution to laboratory development. Other lab development programs tell you what to accomplish; Beacon tells you how to achieve goals. It is a turnkey approach that will revitalize your laboratory. You owe it to your personnel, your city, and the people who depend on your data to see how Beacon can guide your laboratory to excellence.
