Yes, it's true. Gateway Analytical has one of the fastest turnaround times in the industry.
Better results. Faster. As soon as your sample comes through the door, we spring into action to properly log it, store it, and notify the individual scientists that will be diligently working on your project. Then it's off to specialized sample preparation and analytical probing by our fleet of cutting edge instruments. You'll have data, interpretation, and solutions in no time.
Biochemists. Materials scientists. Forensic experts. We turn complexity into a competitive advantage.
Gateway Analytical has carefully assembled a diverse team of curious experts. When the other guys run away from difficult problems or second guess their approach, our scientists move in to take a closer look with a forensic-based framework. Our process is focused on outcomes and driven by experts that have seen it all. You bring challenges. We deliver creative solutions.
You're looking for quality. We collect lab certifications. It's a perfect match.
We're not just another analytical lab. Why not? We spent years building a leading position in the highly-regulated pharmaceutical industry. That means our facilities are FDA-inspected, cGMP certified, and maintain ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 17025 (testing and calibration) standards. Simply put, there's a high bar for quality in all our work that others just can't match.
We've ditched one-size-fits-all customer service for a more personal, collaborative approach.
When you need us, call us. We're always here to answer your questions. As our growing list of returning customers has learned, you'll get to know the individual scientists working with your team to deliver results. They're real people. Our innovative real-time collaboration technology even allows us to demonstrate results and provide updates -- live from the lab.
The Mid-Atlantic Association of Forensic Scientists (MAAFS) annual meeting is being held later this month from May 14th through the 18th. MAAFS is one of several regional/state forensic science associations in the United States. Regional meetings are great for scientists to attend because they usually require less travel than attending the national AAFS meeting, and they provide a more personal forum for presentations and also networking with scientists from that particular region. MAAFS is also a great forum for student presenters, as scholarships are awarded annually. I will be presenting on Thursday, May 17thon the benefits of including fluorescence Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) in the battery of analyses that are typically applied to tape examination. Fluorescence HSI adds value to tape examination, because it is a macroscopic analysis that provides both visual and spectral results, requires little samples preparation, is non destructive, and can allow for a quick elimination in a comparison of known and questioned tapes.
Presentation Abstract:
Current methods of tape examination include a wide variety of analytical techniques, however there is a void in the use of macroscopic fluorescence analysis. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) used in fluorescence mode has shown discrimination power in the analysis of tapes, and offers significant potential as a complimentary tool to the protocol of standard tape examination. Fluorescence HSI is a nondestructive method that can detect differences based on chemical composition of tape adhesive and backing. A variety of statistical evaluations are applicable to HSI data enabling the potential for a quantitative comparison of tape samples. This talk will discuss the application and an example of tape examination with the inclusion of fluorescence HSI in the tape examination protocol.
