Environmental Laboratory & Testing

At Microbac Laboratories, we cover a wide range of analytical services — water, air, soil, and waste — across both routine compliance testing and more complex investigative work. On the compliance side, that includes things like drinking water, wastewater, and ground and surface water. For more specialized needs, we handle testing for contaminants like speciated metals, radiochemicals, and Legionella. If you’re not sure where your project fits, we can help you figure that out.

It depends on your industry, your permits, and which regulations apply to your operations (and those don’t always overlap neatly). At Microbac Laboratories, we work with clients to understand what’s actually required for their situation, whether that’s an NPDES permit, a state drinking water mandate, or something else. We’d always rather help you get clarity upfront than have you second-guess your compliance obligations later.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals that persist in the environment and have been linked to serious health risks. Regulatory scrutiny around PFAS is growing rapidly, and public water systems in particular face increasing testing requirements. At Microbac Laboratories, we test for PFAS in both drinking and non-drinking water, helping organizations stay ahead of evolving standards.

Our lead and copper testing involves collecting samples from taps in homes, schools, or facilities following EPA-specified protocols. Microbac Laboratories’ team guides customers through the entire process — from proper collection to result interpretation — prioritizing the health and safety of your drinking water at every step. Turnaround times vary by test, but results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours.

Yes. Our field services team can come directly to your site if needed to collect samples and maintain proper chain of custody from the start. This can be especially valuable for complex projects involving inorganic contaminants or multi-matrix sampling across water, soil, and air. Accuracy in the field is foundational to reliability in the lab.

At Microbac Laboratories, we take pride in combining deep technical expertise with a genuine commitment to client service. Our customers trust us because we deliver precise, defensible results — and because we treat every project as a partnership, not a transaction. From routine monitoring to the most complex investigative challenges, we’re here to support your safety and compliance goals.
