Maple Sky Lab is an independent analytical laboratory in Canada, working through each sample methodically. From intake to final report. So nothing gets lost between steps.
Sample arrives, gets a unique number, and the chain-of-custody form is signed.
Sample is conditioned, split, and queued to the right instrument for the panel.
The analyst runs the method, checks calibration, and flags anything unusual before moving on.
A second analyst checks the data against the method's acceptance criteria.
Results go out as a structured PDF with a plain-language summary on page one.
The analyst who ran the samples is reachable by name if any question comes up after delivery.

Contact usEvery sample gets a unique intake number the moment it arrives. That number follows the sample through every stage. Preparation, analysis, QA review. And appears on the final report, so you can trace any result back to its origin.
We work to published Canadian standard methods (CCME, ASTM, ISO) and note any deviation in writing. If a method changes mid-project, we flag it before we proceed, not after.
Results come as a structured PDF with a plain-language summary at the front. Numbers are presented with units, detection limits, and applicable guidelines side by side, so you are not left cross-referencing three documents.
Mould testing is one of the most frequently misunderstood services a laboratory offers. Clients often expect a simple pass/fail result, but mould spore counts require context to be meaningful. This article explains what the numbers represent and what to do with them.

For small and mid-sized food producers in Ontario, the question is often not whether to test, but which tests apply to their product and how to interpret the numbers that come back.

The answer depends on land use, and getting it wrong at the sampling stage means either over-remediating a site or submitting a report that a regulator will send back. This article walks through the key distinctions.
