Water Analysis

Waterborne illnesses are a top priority for healthcare and educational facilities. In fact, 1 in 20 patients get a Healthcare Acquired Infection (HAI) during their initial stay! Legionella alone causes up to 18,000 illnesses per year.

We perform a wide range of water testing from both large and small collection samples. ED Lab can also provide fast turnaround in the case of an emergency outbreak. ED Lab is part of the CDC Elite Program for Legionella testing and analysis. With the support of our rigorous QA/QC and expansive database we can build a comprehensive report that can be utilized for a water management plan.

These are examples of the Water and Liquid Analysis ED Lab performs for customers on a regular basis.
