Services
Environmental sample analysis (organic, inorganic, air)
Analytical testing of water, soil and air samples for organic and inorganic constituents using EPA- and ASTM-referenced methods.
Air toxics monitoring and analysis services
Support for air sampling and analysis including provision of sampling media and canisters, TO-15-style volatile analysis and targeted air toxics lists.
Molecular and immunochemical testing for environmental studies
PCR/qPCR and ELISA-based analyses to detect and track biological materials and their persistence in environmental matrices, often used in controlled-environment experiments.
Controlled-environment testing and simulation
Design and execution of exposure studies in programmable environmental chambers capable of simulating day-night and seasonal cycles for water and soil experiments.
Sample handling and shipping advisory
Guidance and procedures for sample cooling, packing, temperature blank use, and chain-of-custody to preserve sample integrity during transport to the laboratory.
Contract laboratory project management and large-scale sample processing
Project execution and management for multi-year and multi-contract laboratory programs, including high-volume sample processing and reporting.
