Environmental Microbiology Lab Services

                                 

EMSL offers a complete array of Microbiology Laboratory Testing services available at  our nationwide laboratory locations.  Our services include the analysis of fungi (mold), bacteria (legionella, e. coli, salmonella, listeria...etc), mycotoxins, endotoxins, allergens, pollen and particulates in air, swab, water, soil, bulk, dust, wipe, food and consumer products.  EMSL also offers PCR Analysis for rapid pathogen detection.

The QA/QC program at EMSL ensures that you will receive scientifically sound, legally defensible data.  Many of our microbiology laboratories maintain accreditation under the American Industrial Hygiene Environmental Microbiology Program (AIHE EMLAP) for the analysis of indoor air quality samples. Several of our labs are pursuing advanced accreditation under the A2LA and FDA GMP/cGLP program for food, dietary supplements, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical analysis. 

EMSL participates in the UK Health Protection Agency Legionella Proficiency Scheme and the US CDC ELITE Program for Legionella analysis as well as the state proficiency programs for bacteriological testing of drinking, wastewater, recreational water, and sewage sludge.

EMSL offers customized method development and special project design for non-routine analyses using ASTM, AOAC, FDA BAM, CTFA, USP, EPA, APHA, ASM as well as international testing methodologies. Our internal QA/QC program is ISO 17025 compliant.
