Lab Services

At CRS Reprocessing, every solution begins in our advanced laboratory—where accuracy, innovation, and quality assurance come together to support your manufacturing process. Before any system is deployed on-site, your fluid undergoes comprehensive testing in our fully equipped, state-of-the-art facility. Our laboratory team evaluates each sample using a range of analytical methods designed to identify the most effective treatment approach for your specific application.
One of our key capabilities includes pilot testing with our bench-top TUF (Tough Ultra Filtration) unit. This small-scale version of our full-size filtration system allows us to simulate real production conditions, giving customers a clear and reliable picture of how their fluid will perform once a CRS system is installed. By identifying optimal parameters ahead of time, we not only validate equipment performance but also reduce risk and accelerate successful implementation.
Quality is foundational to everything we do. CRS understands that our reprocessing technology often becomes an integral part of customers’ day-to-day manufacturing operations, meaning any deviation from expected specifications can directly impact production efficiency and cost. That is why strict quality control is built into every stage of our workflow, from lab testing, installation, to continuous monitoring.
Once your system is up and running, CRS maintains performance assurance through on-site technical support and routine analysis conducted by our trained field technicians. These experts oversee system operation, address service needs promptly, and ensure fluid output continuously meets your required specifications. In addition, CRS provides 24/7 remote monitoring through secure connections to our U.S. headquarters and external laboratory. This level of oversight allows real-time tracking, fast response to any anomalies, and consistent system optimization.
Our off-site lab is staffed by full-time chemists who specialize in fluid behavior, filtration efficiency, and contaminant control. Their expertise is available whenever needed, ensuring your process receives immediate attention and expert analysis.
Because CRS systems operate as a closed-loop design located directly at your facility, the risk of outside contamination is virtually eliminated. This secure configuration ensures stable filtration, uninterrupted operation, and highly consistent results.
At CRS Reprocessing, our commitment is simple: we will not be the reason for downtime. Our laboratory, our people, and our technology work together to deliver dependable performance.
