The Santa Fe Springs Exova lab is an A2LA accredited, ISO/IEC 17025 compliant testing laboratory registered and inspected by the FDA and certified by the California Department of Public Health. We specialize in trace chemical analyses using ICPMS, ICPOES, GC, LC, IC, GCMS, LC-MS/MS, FTIR, NMR, and classic chemistry methods. This Health Sciences lab is part of a network of over 110 labs worldwide with expertise in many areas.

Opened in 1984 the Santa Fe Springs lab was known as West Coast Analytical Service (WCAS). In 2008 we became Exova, and although we still operate as an independent testing lab, we’re now part of a seasoned group of exceptional labs.

We are inspected at a minimum of once every two years by the FDA and California Department of Public Health and we are in good standing with these Agencies. The facilities, tests and controls used in the analysis of your products are in compliance with applicable current Good Manufacturing Practices as codified in 21 CFR 210 and 211, 21 CFR 820, ICH Q7A,

and, when requested, Good Laboratory Practices as codified in 21 CFR 58, 40 CFR 160, or 40 CFR 792. This laboratory maintains A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 for the specific tests listed in A2LA Certificate #3248-01. In addition, we regularly participate in blinded performance evaluation studies to ensure the accuracy of our data.

Most of our work is performed for the pharmaceutical, medical device, and dietary supplement industries, including API, excipient, and finished product characterization, method development and validation, and impurity determination. However, we offer a full range of analytical chemistry services which can be applied to other disciplines as well. For instance, we also provide support to the environmental, industrial hygiene, semiconductor/electronics, polymer, and manufacturing industries, including California Proposition 65, CPSIA, FIFRA, RCRA, and REACH assessments and exposure studies.

We are proud of our history as a high quality analytical chemistry laboratory with an outstanding service record.
