Our team has developed an extensive range of accredited Environmental analyses from a wide range of sample types - providing you with rapid, high quality analytical solutions.
Our laboratories are UKAS accredited for the sampling and analysis of waters and air emissions and the analysis of soils. Our extensive range of analytical, sampling and extraction equipment allows us to handle a wide range of matrix types for a suite of compounds of environmental interest, including:
Air
Soils
Sediments
Waste and Potable Waters
Foodstuffs
Tissue
Vegetation
Our newly improved facilities and optimised methodology ensure a swift turnaround time and highly competitive pricing. We are able to offer a fast turnaround premium service for urgent samples when required.
We are constantly seeking ways to improve our service by reducing sample preparation time, analytical costs and detection limits. Full method blanks with each sample batch and appropriate QC sample preparation ensure confidence in our analytical results. QC results for recovery of internal standards and instrument calibration curves are far superior to the limits allowed in the standard protocol.
Limits of detection are calculated separately for each targeted congener in each sample, giving a more accurate assessment of matrix interference. |

Dioxin and Furan Analysis
UKAS accredited Dioxin analysis to BS/EN 1948, the European harmonised protocol for stack measurements from hazardous waste incinerators as well as to USEPA Method 23. This includes the preparation and supply of UKAS accredited XAD traps for sample collection.
Other Matrices:
Accredited Dioxin analysis methods to USEPA 1613 for soils, sediments, waters, waste waters, ash and dust have been developed.
Tissue, lipid and vegetation methods are also available.
PCB analysis
Targeted PCB analysis in environmental samples such as soils, sediments and foods using high resolution GCMS
PAH Analysis
Semi-volatile PAH analysis can be performed using either low resolution or high resolution GCMS to reduce chemical interferences and to achieve lower detection levels.
Species of Specific Environmental Interest
Methods have been developed which enable the following groups of materials to be identified and quantified:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC'S)
- Semi-volatiles
- Sulphur compounds
- Pesticides / Herbicides
