In highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and environmental testing, lab data both informs current decision-making and largely determines what happens next. At Custom Processing Services (CPS), the in-house analytical lab is specifically designed to meet these demands with speed, precision, and audit-ready confidence.
In this podcast episode, CPS Business Unit Manager Willow Slusser provides expert insight into how our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited in-house analytical lab helps customers overcome testing challenges, keep pace with evolving regulatory requirements, and make informed, timely decisions.
Being able to perform in-house testing is valuable. That might sound straightforward, but the impact is significant. With our lab integrated into the broader CPS operation, we’re able to offer rapid turnaround times, total traceability, and what Slusser explains as “actionable insights that our customers can use right away.”
Customers don’t have to wait weeks for outsourced results or coordinate between multiple vendors. Instead, they get answers quickly — with the high-touch personal service CPS is known for:
“We’re not a black box lab. We don’t just send samples and wait for a PDF. Our customers can actually talk through their challenges with scientists who understand the instrumentation.”
The CPS analytical lab is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard. This signals that its equipment, methods, and personnel meet globally recognized standards for accuracy, traceability, and reliability. Customers can depend on CPS for results that will hold up to regulatory scrutiny — whether it’s the FDA, EPA, or another governing body.
Undoubtedly, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited analytical lab is sought-after for pharmaceutical and environmental testing, but our advanced in-house capabilities further expand the benefits to our customers:
Many customer challenges are compliance-driven. The analytical lab is structured to be nimble, helping customers efficiently anticipate and respond to regulatory needs before they become obstacles. The full range of advanced capabilities include:
