Environmental analysis services

Environmental analyses are performed to assess the quality of natural samples like water, soil, air, and sediment by screening them for heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and other contaminants. Measurlabs provides environmental laboratory services with a wide range of analysis methods.

Analysis of environmental pollutants

Environmental testing often focuses on detecting heavy metals, PFAS and PAH compounds, VOCs, dioxins, and other toxic substances in water, soil, sediment, air, or waste materials. Some of the popular environmental pollutant screening options we offer include the following:

A variety of heavy metal screening analyses with ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and ICP-SFMS methods are also available. You can read more about popular tests by clicking the icons below.

Elemental analysis of water with ICP-MS and AFS

EN ISO 17294-2, EN ISO 178 52, EN 16192, …
Determination of Be, Ba, Co, Al, Mg, Cu, Li, Mn, Ag, Sn, Ti, V, Zn, Tl, B, Hg, Mo, Fe, Ca, K, U, P, Cd, Na, Cr, Ni, Pb, Sb, As, and Se in water samples with ICP-MS-technique. The sample is homogenized and acidified (HNO3), after which the analysis is performed from the liquid phase. The displayed price applies to natural waters. (for example, river or lake water) If the sample contains a lot of solids or the matrix is significantly different from natural water (for example, wastewater and industrial waters), different analysis methods need to be used. The concentration of each element is reported in µg/l.

Specialty analyses: microplastics and eDNA testing

In addition to routine pollutant screening, Measurlabs offers a wide range of testing options in emerging environmental analysis sectors, such as microplastics and eDNA analysis. Our testing options for microplastics present in environmental samples include:

Our eDNA analysis services can be used to detect the presence of various animal, microbe, and fungi species indirectly from environmental samples. This presents a less intrusive, more efficient alternative to direct observation of living organisms in nature. You can read more about the potential of eDNA analysis on our blog or talk to our experts to request a quote.
