Our laboratories include comprehensive LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS instrumentation, spacious sample preparation areas, and a dedicated specimen accessioning and processing laboratory. Alturas is also equipped with Class II Type A biohazard hoods. Critical operations are connected to uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) with generator backups for constant and controlled current flow.
A 17,000 sq. ft., built-to-specification expansion occupies the lots adjacent to the main facility located at Alturas Technology Park. This extension has provided us the opportunity to plan and incorporate design features to further our efforts of sustainability.
Sample Storage and Archives
Alturas Analytics maintains a large freezer storage area with strict temperature requirements (-20° and -70° C) for all study samples, as well as a segregated sample management laboratory for study sample receipt and accessioning. Testing facilities, sample storage, and archives are electronically monitored for integrity and security 24/7.
Licenses and Security
Developing life-saving therapies requires global cooperation from all facets of the pharmaceutical industry and its supporting industries as well. Coordination of this magnitude is reliant on transportation, chemical, energy, and supply consumption – all contributors to a less desirable carbon footprint. Alturas is acutely focused on reducing our footprint to responsibly offset the effects of our industry to the environment.
Laboratory plastics do not need to end up in the land fill. We can make a difference. Alturas recycles roughly 1.5 tons of plastic annually, saving it from the landfill. Alturas participates in the following programs:
Our proximity to two major academic research institutions allows access to talented scientists with the added benefit of high retention of valuable team members. The low humidity and stable climate make it an ideal location for a laboratory. Alturas Analytics is easily accessible through Spokane International Airport (GEG), Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport (LWS), and the Moscow-Pullman Regional Airport (PUW).
