Overview
From analysis of organic contaminants to detecting contaminants of emerging concern, such as PFAS, our instruments and sample preparation kits satisfy some of the most stringent regulatory requirements in the world. Our broad range of chromatography, mass spectrometry, particulate monitoring, gas monitoring, and sample preparation systems can detect and quantify contaminants, including inorganic ions, heavy metals, microplastics, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), hormones, and pharmaceutical products in air, drinking water, wastewater, soils, sewage sludge (biosolids), and composts.
Our environmental analysis solutions are ideal for government agencies, contract testing and other laboratories that need to detect and quantitate environmental contaminants. We can help you achieve your most important priorities—researching new contaminants, improving processes, limiting interruptions, balancing operational costs, meeting your customers’ needs, and maintaining your reputation for on-time dependability. Your success is our goal.
Activities such as farming, commercial fishing, energy production, manufacturing, and transportation increase the presence of contaminants in the environment.
