Sample Types

Matrices We Accept

Send us the sample type that matches your compliance or research need. Each matrix follows its own preparation and reporting protocol.

Drinking Water

Municipal and private well water screened for metals, pesticides, and organic contaminants against Health Canada guidelines.

Surface & Wastewater

Rivers, lakes, stormwater runoff, and treated effluent. Suitable for baseline environmental studies and discharge compliance.

Soil & Sediment

Agricultural, industrial, and remediation site soils tested for heavy metal loading and persistent organic contaminants.

The Panel

What We Measure

Each analyte group reports independently. The COA carries the headline values. The full report includes instrument data and method references.

Heavy Metals

Quantitation of lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, chromium, and copper. Results reported in µg/L for water and mg/kg for soil, benchmarked against Health Canada and provincial guidelines.

ICP-MS

Pesticides & Herbicides

Screening for organochlorine, organophosphate, and carbamate pesticides, plus common herbicides including glyphosate. Detection limits in the low µg/L range.

GC-MS / LC-MS/MS

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Targeted analysis of BTEX compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) and halogenated solvents common in industrial and fuel-contaminated sites.

GC-MS (Purge & Trap)

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Quantitation of the 16 EPA-priority PAHs. Relevant for combustion-impacted sites, sediments, and stormwater discharge assessments.

GC-MS

Nutrients & General Parameters

Nitrates, nitrites, phosphorus, and pH. Standard suite for agricultural runoff characterization and water quality baseline reporting.

Ion Chromatography / Colorimetry

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

25-compound panel aligned with Health Canada’s drinking water objective (30 ng/L sum). Covers perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFBA through PFDoA), sulfonic acids (PFBS, PFPeS, PFHxS, PFHpS, PFOS), fluorotelomer sulfonates (4:2, 6:2, 8:2 FTS), and ether PFAS including HFPO-DA (GenX), ADONA, and four additional emerging compounds. Compatible with EPA Methods 533 and 537.1 analyte lists.

LC-MS/MS (Isotope Dilution)

Methods

Instruments Behind the Panel

Metal quantitation runs on ICP-MS for trace-level detection. Organic contaminants and pesticides run on GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. PFAS analysis uses high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS with isotope-dilution quantitation, covering all 25 compounds in Health Canada’s drinking water objective.
