Proficiency Testing
PT samples have to be right. Your laboratory’s accreditation is at stake, so anything less than 100% confidence is just not good enough. That’s why we bring over 25 years of multidisciplinary reference material manufacturing and certification experience into every step of our process. And that’s why our analytical validation specifications are more stringent than the current TNI standards.
We are very satisfied after working with NSI by ZeptoMetrix for our DMRQA45 process.
Wastewater Laboratory DMRQA45 Testing
The DMRQA45 assessment process was smooth largely thanks to our representative Dana Fields, who we have worked with for several years through NSI. Ms. Fields is prompt to reply to any questions or concerns we have with informed and useful information and/or direction. In addition, the instruction sheets for each test are easy to follow.

NSI PT is great!
Food Microbiology
The proficiency testing provided by NSI is a great tool to gauge the laboratory performance and accuracy. The samples provided by NSI are easy to use for technicians of all experience levels. We will continue to use NSI for all PT needs!

NSI provides quality proficiency testing materials.
Certification
Our lab uses NSI for the majority of our proficiency tests-drinking water, hazardous waste & soils. Instructions are clear, packaging/labeling is easily understood, and any issues are quickly addressed.

Simple and easy
Wastewater treatment plant
The directions for the PT samples are extremely easy to read and follow. Not only does it explain how to store them when they come in, it also explains exactly how to do the sample. Thank you for all that you do.

NSI is a significantly better PT resource than competitors.
To certify a water testing lab
The PT contains clear instructions, a user-friendly interface for entering results, and the reporting is quick and reliable. We have struggled with another PT provider requiring our lab to provide reagents to create samples, changing protocols, and also issuing changes on sample results after we receive our lab's results. NSI has been a significantly better fit for our lab, particularly because they offer a variety of studies each year which fit our lab schedule.

Great to work with the last 4 years
WW/ DW lab
Love that they provide in duplicates so I can save samples for DOCs for my other staff after PT testing ends. Like that they still provide buffer for microbiology samples and also like that they provided different lots for the same method if you want to do by Colilert, Colitag, and MTF.
