Testing Services / Environmental
CLS offers comprehensive Microbiological and Chemical Testing services tailored to the needs of the environmental industry. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges in environmental monitoring, we provide precise and reliable testing solutions to ensure water, soil, air, and waste samples meet regulatory and safety standards. Our microbiological testing identifies potential pathogens and microbial contaminants, while our chemical analysis detects hazardous substances, pollutants, and toxins. By combining both disciplines, we offer a holistic approach to environmental safety, helping clients mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and protect ecosystems and public health. Outsourcing to CLS who have significant experience and advanced capabilities, companies can ensure thorough, reliable testing while focusing on their core competencies.
