needs and hot buttons. This business is built upon how I wanted to be treated when I was a customer of a contract lab. Through our love of the ethanol trade, we have developed valued relationships with over 50 percent of the industry and are proud to have them view us as their partners.” Though FAL is a contract lab, Young says the staff has been on the “other side of the sample.” Members of the FAL team come from the corporate world as well as quality assurance/control teams and labs in production facilities. They embrace the necessity of having accurate, precise, and quality results in a timely manner, and understand that results of analysis are critical to the client’s decision-making process. The continually growing Analytical Team is a group of highly educated farm kids who have come back to their roots—all grew up within 45 miles of Cherokee—with a broader understanding of the industry and the desire to do what it takes to get the job done. The team is always excited to work with clients to develop the best possible plan to meet and exceed all expectations. FAL is recognized as an industry leader not only in the chemical and microbiological analysis of coproducts, but as an expert in the analysis of mycotoxins by UPLCMSMS. Investments in high-
value analytical technologies, including the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility, have allowed expanded offerings for the analysis of inputs, processes flows, coproducts, and the testing of alcohol for hand sanitizers. The FAL Team not only supports fleets and standalone sites by offering traditional methodologies, but also excels in providing specific and proprietary analysis for research and development projects for both plants as well as biofuel input providers. FAL’s mission is “Exemplary Customer Service with Scientific Excellence." IntegriLIMS® is the latest step in Young’s vision to revolutionize the customer experience.
