Microbiology Services

EDLab offers a complete line of analytical services for identification of aerobic, anaerobic and thermophilic bacteria from air, surface or liquid samples. Environmentally important pathogenic organisms such as E. coli, Pseudomonas, MRSA, Legionella, etc., are tested from environmental samples on a routine basis. Our mycological testing includes filamentous fungi/molds, yeast and thermophilic fungi from a variety of environmental samples collected via impaction, spore trap, surface imprint, bulk, swab, wipe, liquid, etc. Mycotoxin and endotoxin testing services are also available for environmental samples.

We also provide airborne and surface-borne testing for allergens such as molds, pollen grains, fibers, plant trichomes, skin cells, inorganic & organic particulate matters and other air and surface borne particulate identification services from environmental samples by using light microscopy. We assist end users with enumeration of mite, cockroach, mouse, rat, feline, canine, equine, etc. allergens in house dust samples.

Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory assists customers in obtaining environmental chemistry services for Volatile Organic Compounds, Formaldehyde, Asbestos and other chemicals from environmental samples. We accept projects for efficacy evaluation on products or technologies.

Reporting

Data generated during a project is presented to the customer via standard electronic delivery (email, etc.) and/or a physical, hard copy report. This laboratory uses a proprietary Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to generate laboratory reports based on analytical findings with that of relevant field information provided by the end users, specifically on each of the samples analyzed. Our reports are self-explanatory, using color legends, analytical figures, method of analysis, limit of detection, glossary of terms, charts and graphs, QC statements and other relevant documentation. A highly professional, trained team of staff maintains communication with end users, respecting customer confidentiality on each project. We also render more comprehensive reporting on laboratory generated data as per the requirements of the project.
