Interpoll Laboratories, Inc., founded in 1973, is a full-service environmental laboratory with a multidisciplinary staff composed of the industries most knowledgeable and experienced engineers, chemists, scientists and technicians. The company provides quality results in every one of its services. Interpoll is based in Minnesota where business integrity and quality performance are a strong tradition. Our mission is to provide our clients with responsive and accurate solutions to their environmental needs.
Since its inception, Interpoll Labs has grown quietly and steadily. Its growth has not resulted from advertising or acquisition, but rather from the quality of services, the dedication of its staff and through client referrals. The essence of Interpoll’s services has always been expertise, experience and quality. Interpoll has no desire to become the biggest or fastest-growing firm in the industry; it just wants to be the best.
As its staff has grown, so has the array of tools used to acquire the data to aid in finding solutions for clients’ complex environmental challenges. This growth has also allowed Interpoll Labs to expand the services offered. Daily tasks range from multicomponent qualitative and quantitative analyses to complex pollution control performance and diagnostic evaluations, environmental site assessments and consultation.
Interpoll Labs clients consist of industrial companies involved in meeting emission compliance requirements or in solving production problems through process control (waste management, power, mining, manufacturing), state agencies dealing in compliance monitoring (MCPA & DNR counties, municipalities) and residential customers having property transfer requirement or drinking water safety concerns.
Interpoll Labs practices a straightforward, good faith approach to business. It believes in complementing accurate results with the kind of service that makes clients want to come back to do business year after year.
