High-precision analysis
A multi-stage approach combining trained analysts, complementary instruments, quality controls, and Alfred Laboratory's accumulated analysis data.
Alfred Laboratory's approach
Evidence from more than one point of view
Alfred Laboratory states that its checks combine polarized light microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and AI screening. Results can also be compared with a proprietary database built from more than 300,000 analyzed samples.
Complementary instruments
Polarized light microscopy supports visual identification, XRD supports spectral checks, and SEM-EDX may be used when fine-structure confirmation is needed.
Statistical comparison
Findings are compared with Alfred Laboratory's accumulated sample database to add a data-based check alongside visual and numerical assessment.
Human verification
Multiple skilled analysts and a double-check structure are used to reduce the risk of oversight or misclassification.
Quality control
Controls designed for repeatable results
Alfred Laboratory reports ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for qualitative asbestos analysis, a five-level internal technical qualification system, and annual participation in the Japan Association for Working Environment Measurement's asbestos analysis cross-check program.
These are Alfred Laboratory-specific statements from its official quality-assurance page. The exact analysis path depends on the sample and requested service.
