 Proficiency
Services Ltd (PSL) was formed in 1999 to provide an independent
proficiency service for laboratories. Our sole business is the provision
of Proficiency Testing and related services. We deliver the
LabChek range of Proficiency Programmes.
The range of LabChek
programmes has expanded since the company formed, and we now provide
Proficiency Samples and Secondary Reference Materials to more than
200 laboratories in 18 countries.
Our commitment is to provide customers
and other stakeholders (consumers of products tested in participating
laboratories, regulatory and accreditation agencies) with valid
assessments of analytical performance. We provide the highest standards
of accuracy and  confidentiality
in our work.
Our core strengths
are:
- Understanding laboratories' needs.
With help from our Technical Advisory Groups, our experienced
staff ensure that the design and operation of LabChek programmes
is appropriate to the needs of all participating laboratories.
- Partnerships
with industry groups enable us to draw on current industry knowledge
and to align the development of our programmes with industry needs.
- Our approachable
and service-oriented team are dedicated to providing excellent
and cost-effective service, enabling us to deliver robust and
reliable programmes to laboratories internationally.
In each programme, we invite leading specialists
from related industries and participating laboratories to contribute
to our Technical Advisory Groups. These groups advise us on the
design and operation of each LabChek programme, to ensure that our
procedures for:
- selection of sample matrices
- sample preparation
- data analysis
- proficiency assessment
continue to be the most appropriate to the
needs of participating laboratories, and wider stakeholders.
Our clients tell us:
"No-one likes to 'get it wrong',
but we find the LabChek approach to proficiency provides the information
in a manner that helps us to look at our own systems to find improvement"
"The staff at LabChek are
friendly, professional and approachable, so it's easy to communicate
with them"
"The turn-around time and
the attention to timetables really helps with our lab scheduling"
