Soil Microbiology. He has worked in professional microbiology laboratories including
Cornell Soil Microbiology Laboratory and P&K Microbiology Services, Inc. His work in
the recent years is focused on microbiological sampling and analysis for indoor
environmental quality assessment. To fulfill his life long goal of dedicating his
professional knowledge to serve the public, Dr. Tang went on to start QLab in February
2005. He has taught professional development course and presented at national
conferences on sampling and analysis of indoor microorganisms. Dr. Tang currently

Code of Ethics
QLab is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards, and
fosters a culture of integrity and accountability. QLab will conduct analysis
services in a manner that is consistent with accepted scientific methods and
maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity in all professional
endeavors. Conflicts of interest, when they arise, will be dealt with ethically and
objectively.
(1) QLab does NOT act as a certification body directly or indirectly affiliated with
any other business/organization.
(2) QLab does NOT act as a standard-writing body directly or indirectly affiliated
with any other business/organization.
(3) QLab does NOT provide building assessment or remediation services
directly or indirectly affiliated any other business/organization.
(4) QLab does NOT give seminars or one-day workshop to encourage people to
start taking samples without proper training on building assessment and other
necessary skills. Seminars and workshops provided by QLab are only for
continuing education of properly trained professionals.
(5) QLab does NOT sell meaningless home testing kits to consumers. We will
only perform analysis of pre-qualified home testing kits sold by other companies
when limitation is clearly stated and consumers is referred to qualified
consultants for further consultation. The minimal qualification of consultants shall
include necessary training, education, experiences, and a state license,
designation, advanced degree, or third-party accredited certification.
(6) QLab does NOT accept clients who do not possess proper education and
training. New clients must be pre-qualified on the basis of their relevant
experience and knowledge as of April 2008.
(7) QLab does NOT provide an overly simplified single numerical score, derived
from an undisclosed mathematical formula, to enable under-trained
professionals to interpret the lab report.
(8) QLab does NOT skip necessary lab analysis/review procedures or hire
under-qualified staff in order to provide quicker turnaround times or low-priced
services, which would compromise quality assurance.
(9) QLab does NOT provide comments regarding building mold conditions on
lab reports which enable under-trained professionals to write an assessment
report. Comments on QLab's reports are limited to the sample analysis only.
Conclusions regarding building contamination conditions are the responsibility
of the qualified professional who performs the building assessment.
(10) QLab does NOT include in its analytical reports fungal description
statements taken from medical text books based upon the analysis of clinical
samples which are not applicable to environmental sampling.
(11) QLab does NOT report results in any way other than is unbiased and
defensible to ensure the best technical support for sampling projects which may
be subject to scrutiny in potential or current legal cases.
