One of the stand out developments at ALS and one of the main reasons for our successful nomination for the Best Practice Laboratory Excellence award was the revolutionary development of MALDI-ToF confirmations. This technique allows ALS to remove the need for presumptive data for Legionella and all other bacterialogical analysis, with all data reported as Colony Forming Units (CFU).

Upon receiving the award, Christopher Law, ALS Environmental's Inorganic Chemistry Operations Manager for the Coventry Laboratory comments:

ALS Environmental are delighted to receive the Best Practice award for Laboratory Excellence. Throughout 2015, ALS successfully tendered for a range of commercial and utility contracts, all of which requiring significant method development. We feel that the Best Practice award is a recognition of the hard work and technical excellence.
