Waypoint Analytical, formerly A&L, is arguably the largest agricultural laboratory group and among the top 50 environmental lab groups in the United States. WA has established its agricultural soil labs as the most reliable and timely provider of agricultural soil test data.

Waypoint Analytical is the parent corporation of several laboratories that worked under their own brands, including: A&L Analytical Laboratories, Inc. (Memphis, TN) A&L Heartland Laboratories, Inc. (Atlantic, IA), A&L Eastern Laboratories, Inc. (Richmond, VA & Wilson, NC), Environmental Testing and Consulting, Inc. (Memphis, TN), Acculab, Inc. (Marrero, LA), Argus Analytical, Inc. (Ridgeland, MS), and Soil and Plant Laboratories, Inc (Anaheim, CA & San Jose, CA).

In 2015, it was determined that having a single brand identity was critical for continued success and to avoid confusing its customers. Waypoint Analytical was selected as the name because it represents a destination point. A destination point that is unique in the independent laboratory industry.
