Web-based data retrieval

SGS has designed a web-based data access tool “QLab” for the immediate and secure retrieval of your analytical data over the Internet. QLab allows you to track the progress of samples and view information such as job status, turn-around-time, scheme/method, client-specific quality control data and the results of your analyses.

SGS has a unique depth and breadth of expertise and experience available from our global network. We provide you with support both as a strategic partner and technical advisor. Through our global network of operations and laboratories, we deliver a broad spectrum of independent quality and quantification services.
