As many of you know, last year we got our lab ISO 17025 accredited. It was a lot of hard work from my team to do, and we ended up getting a perfect score. Not a single thing was brought up by the auditor. They were impressed at our systems and organization. I was actually surprised. I suppose I shouldn't have been, since we put so much work into things. However, you are always nervous going into things like audits. It's nice getting some validation in all our hard work by independent 3rd party inspectors. I am very proud of my team for everything they put into getting our lab up to the level it is today. We are also part of the NIST (The National Institute of Standards and Technology) proficiency testing program now as well. After we got ISO certified, we signed up as part of the NIST lab proficiency program.

Amazing stuff, congrats to you and your team! Very excited that you're certified for controlled substances, as laws loosen up a bit regarding these drugs it's great to know you have the ability to contribute to research and testing. I can definitely see ND being at the forefront of the next wave of new recreational and medicinal substances. Thanks for all the hard work ND!
