Expanding Environmental Testing in the Pacific Northwest: Microbac Welcomes Microbac Prineville

Access to reliable, local environmental testing is more important than ever for municipalities, utilities, and industrial facilities across the Pacific Northwest. As regulatory requirements continue to evolve and communities demand timely, defensible data, having a trusted laboratory partner close to home makes a measurable difference. That is why Microbac Laboratories is proud to announce its expansion into Oregon through the acquisition of Box R Laboratory, effective January 2, 2026. Now operating as Microbac Prineville, this location marks Microbac’s first laboratory in Oregon and strengthens our commitment to serving communities across the region.

Located in Prineville, Box R Laboratory has supported Central Oregon since 2007 with trusted drinking water testing, wastewater analysis, and specialized environmental laboratory services. Over nearly two decades, the laboratory has built strong relationships with municipalities, public water systems, environmental consultants, and industrial clients throughout the area. Those relationships remain at the center of this transition. Microbac Prineville will continue operating from its Central Oregon facility with the same experienced staff and leadership team, ensuring continuity in service, reporting, and technical expertise.

By joining the Microbac national network, Microbac Prineville gains access to expanded analytical capabilities, enhanced quality systems, and broader technical resources while maintaining its deep understanding of local regulatory and environmental conditions. This combination of local expertise and national strength allows us to deliver responsive, high quality results while helping clients navigate increasingly complex drinking water and wastewater compliance requirements.

The addition of Microbac Prineville reflects Microbac’s long term strategy to invest in strong regional laboratories while preserving the scientific excellence and customer relationships that define each location. We are proud to welcome the Box R Laboratory team to the Microbac family and look forward to continuing to support Oregon communities with reliable, accurate, and timely environmental testing services.
