Analytical Laboratory

The Analytical Laboratory at the Center for Environmental Medicine, Colorado State University, provides analysis of a wide selection of trace level organic compounds from environmental and biological sources. Analysis services are available to Colorado State University clients as well as external organizations including academic institutions, industrial users and government agencies.

Standard analyses provided by the Analytical Laboratory include pesticides, PCBs, petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organics, and endotoxins from a variety of matrices. We also provide more specialized analysis on an individual basis.

The Analytical Laboratory conducts its analyses under a QA/QC program which models the criteria established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Using these criteria, we provide you with solid documentation supporting your reported results. We also provide hands-on training on our analysis instrumentation, enabling walk-on usage of most of the instruments for clients interested in conducting their own analyses. Please contact us to setup a consultation for your analysis.
