The story of Analytical Resource Labs (ARL) begins 24 years ago with a single spark—Matt Lewis’s passion for innovation and helping others. While working as a quality manager at a nutritional supplement company, Matt witnessed the challenges and inefficiencies of outsourcing quality testing. Samples were sent out for analysis, delaying results and complicating workflows. This inspired a bold idea: why not offer these services directly, with better efficiency and precision? Driven by this vision, Matt embarked on a transformative journey. He founded ARL, a third-party quality lab dedicated to empowering businesses to create safe, high-quality products for consumers. Recognizing the need for a system that could streamline operations and ensure data integrity, Matt also developed Lab Tracker in 2000—a revolutionary Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed specifically for ARL’s needs. Built by Matt and his team, Lab Tracker has been a cornerstone of ARL’s success, allowing the lab to provide accurate and efficient services while staying ahead of industry demands. The journey was far from easy. Establishing ARL and building Lab Tracker required hard work, long hours, and unwavering dedication. However, Matt’s focus on delivering value, ensuring professionalism, and leveraging cutting-edge technology became the cornerstone of ARL’s identity. Lab Tracker played a pivotal role, enabling ARL to manage complex lab operations with ease, scale its services, and maintain exceptional accuracy. Since its humble beginnings in 2000, ARL has grown from a small lab serving a niche market to a trusted partner for countless businesses. Thanks to Matt’s innovative spirit and the robust foundation of Lab Tracker, ARL has earned a reputation for precision, personalized attention, and reliability. Over 1.54 billion analyses have been reported accurately using Lab Tracker, a testament to its impact on ARL and the laboratory industry as a whole. Today, ARL’s story continues to unfold, guided by the principles Matt Lewis instilled: innovation, quality, and dedication to clients. The legacy of ARL and Lab Tracker is a testament to how one bold vision can transform an industry and create lasting value for businesses and consumers alike.
