LFR has conducted pesticide-monitoring studies in 18 states throughout the U.S., and has collected more than 80,000 field samples.

LFR is recognized as an industry leader in conducting ground water, surface water, and drinking water monitoring studies to assess the effect of crop protection chemicals on water quality. Since its creation in 1993, LFR's Agricultural Research Group has conducted Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) pesticide monitoring studies in 18 states throughout the U.S., and has collected more than 80,000 field samples.


We have built lasting relationships with clients, state and federal regulators, landowners, and cooperators throughout the agricultural community. Through our continued success, the group has expanded to more than 50 GLP-trained staff located in LFR's offices nationwide.

To improve data collection efficiency and quality, LFR has developed a GLP-validated, electronic field data collection system (EFDCS) using hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs). The EFDCS simplifies the entire data management cycle, making written field observations, subsequent data entry, and data availability delays a thing of the past.

Data can be remotely printed and transmitted from the PDA to a central database management system. Field data can also be posted to secure Internet web sites, giving our clients secure access to virtual "real-time" data and associated information from their studies.
