Exact scope records
Laboratory location, methods, matrices, analytes, accreditation, jurisdiction, reporting and receiving are recorded separately.
Qualified laboratory + field network
516Labs routes project demand after reviewing method, matrix, jurisdiction, geography, timing and commercial readiness. Partners compete on verified fit and executable terms—not paid ranking.
Partner principles
Joining the registry does not guarantee demand or award. It creates a verified capability record that can be matched when suitable project demand appears.
Laboratory location, methods, matrices, analytes, accreditation, jurisdiction, reporting and receiving are recorded separately.
Turnaround, service radius, courier, receiving hours, sample restrictions and current capacity inform routing.
Mandatory charges, minimums, rush, freight, EDD and terms are made visible before a quote reaches the requester.
The performing laboratory remains named and responsible for its original analytical report.
Commercial relationships do not override method, matrix, jurisdiction, logistics or project suitability.
Clear communication, reliable turnaround, original evidence and resolved exceptions support repeat routing.
Partner intake
Send the laboratory or field-provider location, primary capabilities, accreditations, service geography and best commercial contact.
