Workplace environment samples, like air, surface or bulk, are tested for the levels of hazardous materials in the workplace. 

The laboratory does not provide a sampling service to the public nor does the laboratory give an opinion on the analytical results. This is usually done by an occupational hygienist.

We analyse for substances like:

• industrial chemicals
• herbicides and pesticides
• cytotoxic drugs
• heavy metals
• solvents
• volatile organic components, including BTEX
• asbestos
• various inorganic and organic substances including carcinogenic substances
• silica
• dust

Our laboratory utilises state of the art modern instrumental techniques which include:

• GC-MS
• LC-MS/MS
• LC-ICPMS
• XRF
• XRD
• FTIR
• gravimetric
• microscopy

Our laboratory staff are specialists in these areas with extensive experience. The laboratory is NATA accredited (3726) and complies with the requirements of ISO/IED 17025.
