Founded in 1999, AQA is a small business that provides analytical chemistry support services nationwide. Although our headquarters are in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we have additional locations in Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and South Carolina. At AQA our most fundamental business objective is to provide our clients with the best value available in terms of technical quality, customer service, and cost competitiveness. To achieve this objective, AQA has assembled a staff of approximately 35 professional analytical chemists who average over 18 years of experience in environmental analytical chemistry, data validation, and other associated activities.
AQA supports federal government agencies, prime contractors, Native American tribal governments, and private industry. We provide technical oversight services to monitor commercial analytical laboratories for compliance with contract requirements, federal regulations, and generally accepted industry standards for environmental chemical analyses. For most of our clients, our technical oversight services include third-party validation of analytical data and audits of various types. However, we also assist clients in the development of the specific technical and quality assurance protocols under which analytical data for their projects will be acquired, validated, and maintained.
