Since our lab is small, we are performing tests on fewer samples and projects compared to the larger labs. This allows our staff to spend more time on each individual sample and project, which leads to fewer errors and mistakes. It produces a better outcome and more successful testing results.

We test freshwater and marine species including fathead minnows, water fleas, green algae, topsmelt, sea urchins, and kelp. Organisms are tested in their most sensitive life stages to conservatively assess environmental risk.

Yes. We’ve helped clients validate new remediation products through toxicity testing. Our lab is equipped to support innovative projects that require scientific rigor and regulatory insight.

For routine monitoring programs, tests are completed within 7 business days and results are reported within 3 weeks after test completion. Tests can be run outside of normal work hours and over the weekend if requested. Yes, they can be expedited at an additional cost.

Fecal indicator bacteria (coliforms, E. coli, and Enterococcus) analysis is regularly used to monitor water quality health and recognize human health hazards. Additionally, the use of microbial source tracking (MST) markers such as HF183, DG3, CaT#998, and other markers provide insightful traceability of specific types of contamination found. Our adaptable services have provided guidance for public health, recreational, and environmental decisions.

Yes, custom markers are available for design and validation by request. Please contact Dr. Nurul Khan regarding specific bacterial and viral markers.

Turnaround time is 10 business days for ddPCR/qPCR and 3 business days for FIB analysis. Yes, they can be expedited at an additional cost.
