Laboratory
The Interpoll Labs chemistry department performs accurate and precise analyses for a wide variety of parameters in various matrices including air, soil, water, fuel, hazardous and nonhazardous wastes and pharmaceuticals. Our experienced staff routinely analyzes samples of unknown composition for clients’ major, minor and trace constituents, employing a variety of analytical techniques.
The department is composed of five main laboratories ‒ organic, inorganic, metals, fuel and particle technology ‒ each equipped to provide a broad range of standard and exploratory analytical methods. Each lab provides accurate and precise determinations of a wide variety of analyses based on state-of-the-art instrumentation, experienced professional staff, responsible project management and the implementation of a comprehensive internal quality assurance plan.
The lab staff keeps abreast of current technology, employing EPA methodology wherever possible. The staff is prepared to discuss requirements, be they routine or one of a kind. Interpoll will employ the best method of analysis and will provide results on time and of the highest quality.
