Samples are analyzed following EPA methodology using modern state-of-the-art instrumentation and extraction procedures by experienced chemists and technicians.
This includes analysis of drinking water by 500 series methods and wastewater by 600 series methods from 40CFR 136, and solid waste and other matrices by 8000 series methods from SW846.
REIC's organic department is fully automated to reduce turnaround time, with redundancy in all intrumentation to keep instrument downtime to a minimum. Rush services, including evenings and weekends are available in emergency situations.
