Welcome new member Kelly Levine of OMD.

Congratulations to Teresa Howe, who has moved to Orlando

FL taking a new job with the Sea World Parks.

Jack, an industrial hygienist working for Chemo Pharmaceuti-

cal Manufacturing, is tasked with selecting an industrial hy-

giene lab to conduct analysis of air and surface samples re-

lated to a new chemotherapy drug. Jack has narrowed the

lab selection to two vendors—IH Analysis Lab and NJ Pharma

Labs.

Jack’s evaluation reveals that IH Analysis has new liquid

chromatography tandem mass spectrometry equipment,

which is necessary to conduct the specialized analysis and

can exceed the minimum detection limit required. Jack’s

niece is a lab tech at IH Analysis, a small firm, that rewards

it’s employees quarterly bonuses based on profit and

growth. IH Analysis is competitive in price and turnaround

time.

NJ Pharma Labs, a vendor that Chemo has used for three

years has older equipment that can be used for the analysis,

can meet the detection limits, and is price and turnaround

time competitive.

Jack awards the contract to IH Analysis because of the

newer equipment. IH Analysis Lab’s business volume will

increase 25% with the Chemo business. Jack has not dis-

closed that his niece works for the lab
