Our large facilities are intended to be flexible to accommodate excess volume and continuity of service to guard against interruption. Labstat operates 4 facilities totaling 41,500 square feet:

• 2 laboratory facilities at separate addresses (31,000 square feet and 5,000 square feet); and
• an offsite, secure, long-term storage facility in a controlled environment setting.

Our laboratory size provides us with the flexibility to expand capacity if challenged with above normal client requests. All of our facilities are secure to protect client confidentiality, safeguard data and product, and maintain continuity of service. Labstat has implemented a redundancy plan that ensures continuity of service (Chemistry and Toxicology) if one laboratory should be rendered inoperable for an extended period of time. Our 2 laboratories operate daily and are located in separate buildings. Each laboratory contains smoking machines, controlled environment rooms, toxicology laboratories, and testing equipment.

CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT ROOMS FOR SMOKING AND CONDITIONING

Maintaining the conditioning atmosphere in the test environment is essential to the success of tobacco product evaluation. Our laboratories have a total of 7-controlled environment rooms housing our smoking machines and related equipment as required for ISO and FTC type smoking or client defined smoking regimes. We also maintain one large partitioned controlled environment room for conditioning all tobacco products.

TOXICOLOGY LABORATORIES

Each of our two laboratories contain in-vitro toxicology facilities with capabilities that include AMES, Neutral Red (NRU), Micronucleus and Sister Chromatid Exchange testing.
