SEARCH

Selecting the big blue "Search" button on the home page or selecting "search" from the menu bar takes you to a page that allows you to search for a lab using a variety of filters. LAMS only allows a single filter in the upper section of the search. You can enter any part of the lab name, TNI Lab Code, drop down the state in which the lab is located, or select whether accepts commercial samples. These filters work on the entire list of labs regardless of whether or not accreditations are listed. Dropping down and selecting a specific AB will limit the search to those labs holding a current FOA.

The lower section of the search allows you to further refine the search by entering any part of the matrix, method, method revision, and/or analyte.
