Q U A L I F I E D A N D P R O P E R LY T R A I N E D S TA F F
Analysis of Environmental Samples requires special skills that come from a combination of industry experience and academic credentials, coupled with formal training. The individual training requirements for each
person is based on the complexity of the test(s) that will be performed by the individual. EMSL will only allow
a scientist to independently express results after they have met the requirements of the training program. Our
programs address both the technical scientific aspects of the analytical process as well Ethics and Integrity
Training as it pertains to the process of providing data and results to our customers.
Education and Experience
Health and Safety Training
Minimum education and experience requirements
are listed for each position within the company.
Additionally, all technical staff (analysts, chemists,
technicians, etc.) must successfully complete an
EMSL training program prior to performing
analysis independently.
Health & Safety training is provided to all EMSL
employees as described in our written Chemical
Hygiene Plan. The Chemical Hygiene Plan
defines work practices and procedures that ensure
the employees of EMSL Analytical, Incorporated
are protected from health risks associated with the
potential exposure to hazardous chemicals and is
compliant with the standard promulgated by
OSHA entitled “Hazardous Work in Laboratories”,
29CFR 1910.1450.
Training Programs
Laboratory Managers are responsible for ensuring
that appropriate training is provided to the technical
staff and that they are qualified to perform the test
method. At a minimum, training consists of formal
instruction and hands on training with the instruments and systems related to the analytical process
and methods. Additionally the training includes
formal tracking and documentation of a person’s
“Demonstration of Capability” (DOC) which is
required before they can independently process
samples. Annually, ongoing training and review of
ongoing demonstration of capability is performed.
Ongoing training is provided to all employees on
a consistent basis which may include but not be
limited to the following:
• Laboratory Staff Meetings – Typically include
a variety of topics but often address technical
updates on analytical methods, customer service
training issues, health & safety incidents and
training, etc.
• Laboratory Audit Review – Staff are encouraged
to consult with internal and external auditors
for advice on various topics related to the audit
findings and recommendations and/or
deficiencies.
• Workshops provided by professional
organizations, agencies and/or by
instrument/equipment vendors.
6
Code of Ethics Training
One of the objectives of the QAP is to ensure
that staff of EMSL are provided information with
regard to ethics as they pertain to laboratory
operations. The goal of the EMSL ethics training
and policy is for each staff member to understand
their responsibility to provide true and accurate
information and the consequences of unethical
conduct. The QAP addresses the Code of Ethics
by including the following:
• Specific guidelines and interpretations which
define “Right and Wrong” as it relates to job
related situations.
• Reinforcement of the consequences of
unethical decisions and the understanding
of the impact of our actions.
• Direction to employees to report or inquire
about situations that may be ethically
questionable.
• Procedures which ensure that all employees
are free of unreasonable pressure and stress.
S TA N D A R D O P E R AT I N G P R O C E D U R E S
Instructions and procedures for the activities related to the analytical process are developed by management
and are clearly defined and documented in our Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Manuals. These technically specific SOP’s are located at each laboratory facility and include the step-by-step procedures for each
analytical test method performed inclusive of the initial acceptance and handling of samples, sample control
throughout the process, sample preparation, analysis, and reporting of the data. EMSL utilizes company wide
standard procedures incorporated in each specific SOP which comply with our QAP and adhere to the following protocols:
Acceptance of Work
Our services are generally offered as unit cost
tests which reference documented methodologies.
Laboratory services are typically requested by the
customer as “open order” requests meaning that
samples may be delivered to the laboratory at any
given time, without a firm documented arrangement
(contract). EMSL accepts the customer Chain-ofCustody (COC) as the open-order authorization
which specifies the analytical test, turn-around-time
(TAT), and quantity of tests to be completed. In the
absence of a formal contract agreement, work-order,
and/or purchase order, EMSL’s Terms and
Conditions will apply. Modifications to the standard
Terms and Conditions must be documented and
agreed upon by both EMSL and the customer.
Sample Acceptance Criteria
The acceptance of custody of the samples at time of
delivery does not imply that samples are acceptable
for analysis. Since often the condition of samples
cannot be determined prior to preparation, final
sample acceptance does not occur until samples are
prepped or analyzed. At that time, samples are
inspected and evaluated to determine if they conform
to laboratory acceptance criteria. If they do not, or
if the Lab has any questions as to the validity of the
sample, then the sample is further scrutinized by
the lab manager or designated person who will then
determine whether the questionable condition is sufficient to require rejection of the samples. Samples
may also be rejected if its condition or contents at
time of delivery is unsuitable (e.g., improperly packaged) or may pose a risk in handling or processing.
Rejections of samples will be followed up by immediate notification to the customer for further direction.
Sample Tracking and Control
Chain-of-Custody
In order to ensure the integrity of any sample,
records of its custody must be maintained from sample collection in the field until relinquishment of the
samples and acceptance by the laboratory. Since the
customer collects the sample, EMSL does not accept
responsibility for the validity of the sample collection
and delivery protocols, nor the sample information
reported by the customer. As needed and/or
requested, we can recommend sampling media,
volumes, sample size, and other items which we have
found to have an effect on the quality of the analysis
due to the sample condition.
Once the sample is accepted for analysis by the
laboratory, the EMSL “Internal Chain of Custody”
is used to document the handling of the samples
throughout the analytical process. In instances
when samples are internally transferred to a
different EMSL lab in the network, the samples are
accompanied with a completed “Sample Relinquish
Form” which includes internal custody transfer
sign-off and customer/project information for
tracking purposes. A copy of the completed form is
also maintained in a tracking manual at the initial
lab that received the samples. Whenever samples
are transferred to another lab, EMSL will request
customer approval for the transfer unless a standing
agreement is in place.
Sample Log-In
EMSL’s sample tracking and control starts from the
time the samples arrive at the laboratory at “sample
receiving/log-in”. Log-in of samples is normally
done by the log-in department and/or the administrative coordinator but may also be done by other
employees trained and familiar with the process.
Information is entered for the samples received by
the laboratory into the Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS). LIMS is a computer
based management system which serves to track all
samples from receipt through prep, analysis, reporting, and billing processes. If requested, the LIMS
system will send an email notification automatically
to the customer when the samples are received by
EMSL. The email notification includes when the
samples were received, sample log-in information
(tests, sample numbers, etc) and the scheduled due
date for results.
7
S TA N D A R D O P E R AT I N G P R O C E D U R E S
Archival and Disposal of Samples
Samples which are not completely consumed in
analysis are retained as detailed in the area-specific
quality assurance modules which specify sample
retention schedules. In accordance with this schedule, samples are then disposed of by a licensed contractor, where required, and a copy of the waste
manifest is obtained and kept on file.
Verification of reagents will consist of confirming
that the priority grade recorded on the reagent label
conforms to the requirements of the SOP unless
analysis difficulties indicate a possible problem or
regulatory agency requirements specify otherwise.
In the latter case, the analytical SOP will identify the
appropriate reagent.
If requested, samples will be returned to the customer. If a customer has specific requirements for
sample storage or retention times beyond standard
EMSL policy, this should be discussed at the time
of sample delivery, documented and approved by
EMSL and the customer.
Equipment/Instrument Maintenance
Subcontracting
Other than utilizing our internal network of labs,
EMSL generally does not subcontract much analytical work to outside laboratories. However, in the
event such services are required, the laboratory manager will ensure all procedures are performed by laboratories that comply with the quality management
system as addressed in the EMSL QA Manual and
the policies of the accreditation program(s) currently
held by the original laboratory. Laboratories must
subcontract to outside laboratories that maintain
accreditations appropriate for that analysis unless
otherwise directed by the customer.
Sample Processing and Procedures
Quality of Materials
The high quality of materials used in the laboratories is ensured through specific purchasing and verification procedures and proper handling techniques.
Selection of the appropriate grade of reagent(s) is
designated in the reagent section of each analytical
SOP and in addition may be specified by the laboratory manager in unusual circumstances. As a general
practice, reagents will be of at least ACS reagent
quality.
Reagents and standards are purchased in accordance
with the analytical needs of the laboratories as determined by the laboratory manager. When received
by the laboratory, these items’ labels are dated and
initialed with the date received and expiration dates
provided by the manufacturer, or as assigned by the
laboratory. Labels are also dated and initialed when
opened and/or when reagent mixtures are prepared.
8
The quality and maintenance of equipment plays a
critical role in providing quality analytical services.
The laboratory manager determines whether each
instrument is maintained and repaired in house or
by an outside source following EMSL administrative
procedures. Additionally, servicing will be performed when a need has been identified by calibration or other QC checks. Where regular maintenance schedules are necessary, the schedules are documented in the analytical SOPs and tracked by the
laboratory manager to ensure that all maintenance
schedules are met. Maintenance repair/service file is
maintained for all equipment which includes documentation of the scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and repair activities.
Contamination Management
Proper observance of laboratory procedures is necessary to guarantee accuracy of results and the safety
of laboratory staff members. Contamination of samples, the environment, and reagents used in analysis
must be avoided to provide the highest quality, legally defensible data to our customers. In order to
achieve this goal, laboratory staff must adhere to
various preventative measures and use defined testing procedures for contamination detection as established by the QA manager.
Contamination is prevented through a combination
of good laboratory practice and housekeeping, as
well as analysis of blank samples and ambient air and
surface wipe samples taken from the laboratory. If
contamination is detected in any situation, the
source of contamination must be traced and the
problem resolved to prevent recurrence. All actions
taken to resolve a contamination circumstance will
be documented properly and completely in the laboratory files.
S TA N D A R D O P E R AT I N G P R O C E D U R E S
Reporting Results
The customer report is, ultimately, our “final product”. The quality of our report reflects on our standard of quality. Final customer reports are released
only after data has been approved by the laboratory
manager or designated qualified reviewers. This
review includes evaluation of quality control results,
calibration measurements, and other controls
specified by the method, SOP, and our QAM.
Electronic Data Deliverables (Exported Data)
EMSL delivers lab data in several different electronic data formats to many different customers in custom and industry standard formats, including
SEDD, custom CSV formats, excel, PDF, word and
RTF formats. The electronically delivered data is
not intended to replace hard copy results. Final,
signed customer reports are delivered via mail in
addition to delivery by email or diskette. In this way,
exported data can be verified. Electronically transmitted results must meet the requirements of the
QA policies with the export formats implemented
and controlled by the corporate IT staff, which has
the flexibility to implement new export formats as
required.
Results On-line via LabConnect®
Lab Reports, Chain-of-Custody, and Invoices are
available 24/7 via the internet on a secure customer
website portal. Documents are posted “real-time”
which allows remote customers to see their COC as
soon as EMSL processes the samples at log-in.
Once the report is reviewed and approved by an
authorized signatory, the report with electronic
signature is posted to the site as well. These PDF
documents can be printed by the customer and/or
inserted in the customer’s reports or on the customer’s common share sites, if necessary. The customer can do a search query for a result by the customer project number or project name, sample submittal date, or the type of analysis. Customer billing
statements are also available on LabConnect® and
credit card payments can be made as well.
Customer Communications
EMSL seeks feedback from our customers regarding
Lab performance via our Customer Survey
(www.emsl.com – customer survey) as well as
maintaining an open dialogue policy between the
customer and the lab manager and/or National
Directors, the corporate team and/or the quality
assurance department. The goal of our open dialogue policy is clear, continuous and open communication between the laboratory and the customer
which is one of the keys to maintaining a successful,
quality operation. Communication should be established prior to the start of any work so that any special instructions, precautions, and/or customer specific needs are clearly understood between laboratory and the customer.
Customer complaints regarding the quality of data
received are thoroughly investigated by EMSL
laboratory management. Where errors are found,
they will be documented as a non-conformity and
handled via EMSL’s corrective action procedures.
Typically, if a customer makes a valid complaint
about a test result, the sample in question will be
reanalyzed where possible. If the second result
agrees with the original, the laboratory manager
shall advise the customer in writing that a quality
control check has confirmed the original analysis.
The laboratory manager or designee will promptly
communicate with the customer as it relates to the
performance of the analysis and turnaround time.
The laboratory must notify the customer if:
• Analysis is to be done at another EMSL
network location;
• Analysis cannot be performed on time;
• Integrity of the sample has been jeopardized
(either by the laboratory or the customer or
customers shipping/delivery carrier);
• A discrepancy in the analysis has been found
during QC analysis. If this deficiency directly
affects customer results, the customer will be
notified immediately of the problem.
Confidentiality
It is understood that confidentiality and proprietary
rights must be respected throughout the performance of services for any customer or for those that
may include national security concerns. Information
will not be given to those for whom it is not intended and the proprietary rights of our customer will be
protected. Data reports and/or other related
information will not be given out to any person
or agency other than the customer unless we have
received prior approval from the customer.

QUALITY CONTROLS
Quality control is the routine application of procedures for obtaining prescribed standards of performance in the
analytical process. EMSL’s quality control program is established and managed by the QA manager in cooperation with the National Directors and ensures our laboratories are producing quality data. This process ensures
fulfillment of our commitment to our customers that our data is legally defensible, and that all personnel perform their responsibilities properly.
Quality control is performed continuously throughout the course of laboratory sample analysis regardless of laboratory workload and is made part of the normal course of laboratory sample analysis. QC data is graphed on
control charts designed specifically for each analysis type. Quality control is tracked and reviewed daily by the
lab manager as part of the sample process and final report approval process. Additionally, quality control summary reports are reviewed by the corporate Quality Assurance Department on a monthly basis.
QA Oversight of Laboratory Quality Analytical Performance Criteria
Quality control is performed according to the scope
of the laboratories accreditation status and quality
control requirements for each type of analysis.
Performance criteria are maintained for both individual analysts and for the entire laboratory. The standards for acceptance criteria are documented in the
EMSL Standard Operating Procedure Manual and
the QA Manual. EMSL continuously monitors the
analytical performance of each laboratory and analyst.
Performance is determined using the following criteria:
• Results from intra/inter-analyst,and/or
intra/inter laboratory QC results and round
robin testing plotted against control/
acceptance limits.
• Results from calibration measurements
plotted against control/acceptance limits.
• Lab performance in proficiency testing
programs.
• Results of internal and external on-site quality
audits. These audits will verify compliance
with all QA and QC policies as documented
in the EMSL Quality Assurance Manual and
related SOPs.
Demonstration of Traceability
The quality assurance program is designed to provide
a method which achieves traceability of data to
national standards. This is accomplished by setting
requirements, which include:
• Use of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs)
as certified and traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
SRMs are used for QC analysis and training
for achieving performance evaluations of
10
analysts and overall laboratory accuracy.
• Calibration of instrumentation against NIST
traceable standards
• Laboratory participation in independent
(non-EMSL) proficiency testing programs
• Analysis of consensus standards
Procedures for Dealing with
Non-conforming Work
Whenever a deviation from established requirements
(i.e., a non-conformity) is discovered, a corrective
action review will be initiated in order to determine
the root cause of the problem and decide on what
action can be taken to prevent reoccurrence. This
review may include a review of QC data, sample
tracking, data transcription, instrument calibration,
training documentation and discussion with
personnel. If the non-conformity resulted in a
deficiency that directly affects customer results, the
customer will be notified immediately of the problem.
After the implementation of corrective actions, the
laboratory will conduct follow-up activities to ensure
the effectiveness of those actions.
Customer Support and Access to QC Information
EMSL provides quality assurance information and
technical support to the customer to assure continued
quality service. The support and information provided in relation to the work performed includes:
• Availability to Lab Accreditations/Certifications
applicable to the analysis provided;
• Availability of pertinent QC records;
• Access to the Quality Assurance Department
for technical assistance;
• Security of data (confidentiality);
• Reasonable access to the relevant areas of the
laboratory for the witnessing of analysis;
• Archive and record retention programs.
QUALITY CONTROLS
Accreditation and Certification Programs
EMSL Analytical, Inc. maintains various accreditations and certifications all of which require active
and efficient QA/QC programs, participation in
proficiency testing programs, etc. with renewals
typically requiring on-site audits and continued
acceptable performance in proficiency testing. Labs
obtain necessary accreditations/certifications based
on the testing they provide and the state in which
they do the work. For individual state certifications, multiple labs in the network maintain that
state’s certification to ensure ample network support. If a customer requests new or additional
field-of-testing (FOT) certification for a project or
program, EMSL may seek to add that certification
dependent on the lab capability and the amount of
work associated with the request.
EMSL lab accreditation programs (see lab listing
for specific branch lab accreditation) typically
include NVLAP, AIHA, NELAC, A2LA, and home
state certifications as required such as NY ELAP,
CA ELAP, NJ DEP, PA DEP, FL DEP, LA DEQ,
etc.
Document Preparation and Control
In order to prepare and distribute documents in an
organized fashion, procedures for initiation, preparation, review, approval and issuance of controlled
copies will be followed. EMSL’s document control
program is a coordinated effort involving both
technical review and custodial control.
Laboratories are to use only approved, controlled
and current documents for all calibrations, analyses,
final reports, and other activities performed in this
laboratory.
Archive and Record Retention Policies
All records associated with analytical data are
stored in an organized, safe and retrievable fashion.
EMSL stores all records for a minimum of 5 years
unless otherwise stipulated by customer contract or
external agency requirements.
External agency requirements are listed below:

ASBESTOS LAB TESTING SERVICES
EMSL Analytical Inc. has over 30 years experience in providing Asbestos Laboratory
Services to Environmental/Asbestos Consultants, Engineering Companies, Remediation
Contractors as well as Government Agencies and Authorities. Our asbestos laboratory
network has the largest capacity for sample analysis in the world. This capability is a
function of the collective strength of the operation of our nationwide network of
individual laboratories located throughout the U.S. and in Canada.
Each laboratory has trained and experienced staff along with the necessary equipment
and instrumentation to provide quality asbestos analysis for Air, Water, Bulk, Soil and/or
Dust samples by various methodologies (NIOSH, EPA, ASTM, etc.) utilizing Polarized
Light Microscopy (PLM), Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), and Transmission Electron
Microscopy (TEM).
Each of our Asbestos Laboratories are accredited by NVLAP with additional certifications as needed per individual state
certification programs and/or AIHA / A2LA accreditation. The labs maintain a five to six day regular work day schedule
as well as emergency response plans for off hours and/or weekend operating hours. Samples are received during normal
work hours and Turn-Around-Times (TATs) are tracked when samples are received during normal operating hours of the
laboratory Analytical results Turn-Around-Times offered include same day (3 hr. and 6 hr.), 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, 4 day, 1 week,
and 2 week TATs. Costs/rates are weighted based on the Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week rates being the
most economically cost effective for our customers.
Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS) which tracks the samples and individual projects to meet our clients’ specified due dates
and any special instruction requirements. Additionally, the LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information is
controlled and locked once the data has been entered by our analysts. Since all labs utilize the same LIMS, all reports
are standardized which helps allow us to use multiple labs on the large capacity projects while ensuring that the work
is complete and reported in the same format. Asbestos reports are delivered at the choice of the customer by email, fax,
and/or hard-copy regular mail. Additionally, all clients have 24/7 real time access to their reports, Chains of Custody,
and project invoices via our LabConnect® program. This is a security enabled extranet feature that provides various
search options so that our clients can find all project and invoicing information quickly and easily. Key tests include

LEAD (Pb) LAB SERVICES
EMSL Analytical Inc. provides Lead (Pb) testing analysis for Bulk Samples (paint chips,
debris, or materials), Air Samples, Wipe Samples, Waste Water and Drinking Water, and
Soil Samples as well as for Consumer Products. Each laboratory has trained and
experienced staff along with the necessary lab certification(s) to provide Lead Analysis
by various methodologies including NIOSH, EPA Standard Methods, ASTM, and/or
CDC, utilizing Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometers, Graphite Furnace Atomic
Absorption, Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), and/or ICP-Mass Spectrometer. The
EMSL analytical process for lead analysis and reporting of the individual sample is part
of an overall program that includes analysis of Quality Control Samples (spikes) and
programs such as Instrument QC controls, calibration standard checks, duplicates, and
reporting limit controls to ensure the confidence limits of the data are within the acceptable
range as specified by the method requirements and our Quality Control Programs.
Each of our Lead Labs are accredited by AIHA or A2LA and additional certification as needed per individual state and
city certifications, where applicable.. Lead Labs maintain a five or six day operational hours schedule as well as emergency response plan for off hours and/or weekend operating hours. Samples are received during normal work hours and
turnaround times are tracked on business days from the time samples are received during normal operating hours of the
laboratory. Laboratories that maintain 24/7 hours (ie: NYC,) and/or extended routine hours, will track TAT’s during all
lab hours. Lead Analysis Turn-Around-Times offered include same day (3 hr. and 6 hr.), 24 hr, 48 hr, as well as 3 day, 4
day, 1 week, and 2 week TATs. Costs/rates are weighted based on the Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week
rates being the most economically cost effective for our customers.
Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS) which tracks the samples and individual projects to meet our clients’ specified due dates
and any special instructions requirements. Additionally, the LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information
is controlled and locked once the data has been entered by our analysts. Since all labs utilize the same LIMS, all reports
are standardized which helps allow us to use multiple labs on the large capacity projects while ensuring that the work is
done and reported in the same format. The reports are delivered at the choice of the customer which would include
email, fax, and/or hard-copy regular mail. Additionally all clients have 24/7 real time access to their reports, Chains of
Custody, and project invoices via our LabConnect® program. This is a security enabled extranet feature that provides
various search options so that our clients can find all project and invoicing information quickly and easily.

E N V I R O N M E N TA L M I C R O B I O L O G Y L A B S E R V I C E S
EMSL Analytical Inc. provides Microbiology Laboratory Services for testing related to the
Environment and/or Indoor Air Quality at our network of laboratories in key cities
nationwide. Our qualified staff includes degreed (Ph.D.s, MSc, M.P.H.) microbiologists,
mycologists, and bacteriologists. Our bench analysts and technicians have a minimum
of a B.S. degree and must complete a rigorous training program before reporting results
independently. In addition to offering the traditional direct exams (spore traps and
tape lifts) and culture methodologies, we also use state of the art equipment such as
GC-FAME and PCR for identifying individual bacterial and fungal species.
Our key microbiology laboratories maintain accreditation under the American Industrial
Hygiene Association (AIHA) or the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation
(A2LA) environmental microbiology accreditation program. Additionally, we participate in
the U.S. CDC Environmental Legionella Isolation Techniques Evaluation (ELITE) Program
for Legionella analysis as well as state proficiency programs for bacteriological testing of drinking
water, wastewater, and sewage sludge. We also offer customized special project design for non-routine analysis
utilizing ASTM, USP, EPA, APHA, AATCC, ISO, JIS, NSF, OECD, MIL, ASM as well as internationally developed
test methodologies.
All Microbiology Labs maintain a five business day lab operation schedule. We have emergency response plans in place
for off hours and/or weekend operating hours when needed. Turn-Around-Times (TAT) are tracked by the number
of business days from the time samples are received in the lab. Microbiology TATs for direct exams include same day
(3 hr. and 6 hr.), 24 hour, 48 hour as well as 3 day, 4 day, 1 week, and 2 week TATs. Culture analyses are provided with
a 6-14 day turnaround based on the individual incubation period requirements. Costs/rates are weighted based on the
Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week TAT rates the most economically cost effective rates for our customers.
Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS) which tracks individual projects to meet our clients’ specified due dates. Additionally, the
LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information is controlled and locked once the data has been entered
by our analysts. Since all labs utilize the same LIMS, all reports are standardized which allows for network support
(intra-lab transfer) for sample overcapacity issues. We offer a variety of reporting formats for our most popular tests
including our Expanded Fungal Report and ASSESSMENTReport™ for total spore count and direct exam analyses.
We can also design customized reporting options for long term and special projects. Reports are delivered depending
upon client preference (email, Lab-Connect®, fax, or all). All clients have 24/7 real time access to their reports, Chains
of Custody, and project invoices via our LabConnect® internet portal. This is a security-enabled extranet feature that
provides various search options so that our clients can find all project and invoicing information quickly and easily.

PCR and DNA LAB SERVICES
Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is cutting edge molecular technology that analyzes for the genetic material called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is
found in every cell. DNA is unique for every individual organism. Using qPCR
allows for the detection of fungi, bacteria and certain viruses by identifying the
presence of their specific DNA in their genome.
qPCR analysis of fungi and certain bacteria is performed at EMSL Analytical
Inc. under a Patent License Agreement with the EPA National Exposure and
Research Laboratory. EMSL is currently developing several methods using
qPCR for the detection of pathogenic bacteria and viruses that are of interest to
the indoor air quality, food, consumer products, and pharmaceutical industries.
qPCR can detect the presence of small quantities of organisms whether they are
alive, dead or cannot be cultured. For these reasons, qPCR is a fast, accurate, sensitive
and specific alternative analysis that has many advantages over traditional microbiological
methods that involve microscopic direct examination or culturing.
Key tests include (but not limited to) the following:
PCR - WATER DAMAGE PANELS
• Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI)
• American Relative Moldiness Index (ARMI)
• Water Damage 10 Panel
• Water Damage 15 Panel

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SERVICES
EMSL Analytical Inc. provides Industrial Hygiene Laboratory Services for air samples employing an
extensive list of NIOSH, OSHA, and EPA test methods. Our IH Lab services are provided at
our Corporate Lab in New Jersey, as well as at our Indianapolis, Indiana and Garden Grove,
California Lab (LA Testing). The IH Lab Division includes qualified and experienced
professionals including Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH’s) that welcome any/all client
interaction with the lab before, during, as well as after the sampling event. This includes
support with sampling strategies (CIH’s on Staff at our NJ Location) so that we may assist
in ensuring that the lab data that we provide will achieve the goal that the customer intends
on achieving with the sampling. We also typically provide sampling equipment and the
media for the sampling event at no additional charge as long as the analysis is performed by
EMSL Analytical, Inc. The IH Laboratories maintain AIHA accreditation for Industrial
Hygiene which includes on-site lab audits, formal document review program, along with staff
experience and education criteria, and Proficiency Testing Program as part of the Accreditation
process. Additionally, as required, the Labs maintain any applicable state certifications for fields of
testing for air samples.
Air samples are analyzed for most analytes using GC-ECD, GC-FID, GC-NPD, HPLC, LC/MS and/or GC-MS. The analysis and
reporting of the individual sample is part of an overall process that includes analysis of Quality Control samples and programs such as
Instrument QC controls, calibration standard checks, spiked media, and reporting limit controls to ensure the confidence limits of the
data are within the acceptable range as specified by the method requirements and our Quality Control Program.
Our IH Laboratories maintain normal business day operational hours with weekend scheduling availability as needed for critical
response situations. Samples are received during regular business hours and Turn-Around-Times are tracked on business days. Lab
TATs are offered for same day or next day, as well as for 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, 1 week, and 2 week Standard TATs. Costs/rates are based
on the TAT requested with our 2 week TAT rates being the most economically cost effective for our customers.
Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory Information Management
System (LIMS) which tracks the sample job (batch) and provides the lab with work log (due dates) to help ensure all the work is organized and processed in accordance with the clients needs. Additionally, the LIMS includes security controls to ensure that information is
controlled (locked) once the data is been documented and entered by the bench chemists. Reports are delivered at the choice of the
customer which would include email, hard-copy regular mail, or both. Additionally, EMSL can provide Electronic Data Deliverables
(EDD), as well as various QC Data Packages if required. Key tests include (but not limited to) the following:

IAQ TESTING SERVICES
The IAQ Lab Testing Services is an industry reference of key tests that are done
as part of characterization of the air quality of an indoor air environment.
The recent program associated with Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEEDs) is an example of such IAQ programs that it typically
includes a group of tests with benchmark results criteria, used to characterize
the quality of the indoor air for a building or space. EMSL has been offering
various tests from various lab divisions characterized as IAQ Lab Services in
the same manner as the LEEDs program. The EMSL tests offered under this
IAQ Lab Testing services are performed by our Materials Science Laboratory
(Unknown Dust Particle ID, MMVF, Carbon Black), IH Lab Division (new
Rug-Odor, Pepper Spray, Formaldehyde), TO-15 Division (SUMMA canister collection
via TO-15 for VOC's, odor investigations and bulk material off-gassing), Radiochemistry Division (Radon),
Environmental Chemistry Division (Acid Fumes, VOC’s, Pesticides), and the Microbiology Division (PCR,
Allergens, Mold). We have been able to share the resources, scientific knowledge between divisions, and expertise
and ability within their specific field of testing to provide the analytical experience and capabilities to assist our
customers (building science professionals and/or Indoor Air Quality Professionals) to measure, evaluate, and
monitor the Indoor Air Quality of a building or space. Key tests include (but not limited to) the following:
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
• Volatile Organic Compounds by TO-15
• VOC by NIOSH 1501/1550
• MVOC by GC-FID
• MVOC by TO-15
LEEDs TESTING PACKAGE
• TVOC (EPA TO-15 + Library Search +

E N V I R O N M E N TA L C H E M I S T R Y L A B D I V I S I O N
EMSL Analytical Inc. provides Environmental Chemistry Laboratory Services for testing
primarily related to sampling for RCRA (Resource Conservation & Recovery Act),
SPDES (State Pollution Discharge Elimination System), NPDES (National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System), CWA (Clean Water Act), SDWA (Safe Drinking
Water Act), CAA (Clean Air Act), as well as for Environmental Site Investigations
(i.e.: Phase I, Phase II), Remediation Projects, and various Municipal, City, or State
programs requiring the testing and analysis of Drinking Water, Waste Water,
Surface Water, Ground Water, Bulk Waste, Soil, Solids, Oils, and/or Air Samples.
Samples are analyzed by EPA Standard Methods, NIOSH Methods, ASTM or
OSHA ID Methods as well as various state specific methodologies. The EMSL
analytical process for the analysis and reporting of the individual sample is part of an
overall program that includes analysis of Quality Control Samples and programs such as
Instrument QC controls, calibration standard checks, duplicates, and reporting limit controls
to ensure the confidence limits of the data are within the acceptable range as specified by the method requirements
and our Quality Control Programs.
The Laboratory maintains NELAC certification status from our primary home state certification (NJDEP) as well
as multiple state certifications from various states for various parameters (field of tests). As part of the certification
status, our Chemistry Lab complies with regular on-site audits from regulatory agencies and participates in a rigorous
and extensive proficiency testing program. Field of Testing certification parameters routinely are updated/changed by
the State regulatory agencies so EMSL provides the most current copy of our test parameter certifications on our
web site. If a new state certification or field of test is requested by a client for our lab, EMSL may update our
certification if it makes good business sense.
The laboratory provides testing for Organics (by GC-FID, GC-ECD, GC-NPD, and GC-MS), Metals (GF-AA,
CV-AA, ICP, ICP-MS), and Wet-Chemistry (IC, etc.). Most testing is primarily performed at our Corporate
Environmental Chemistry Lab in New Jersey with some Metals Testing and limited Wet Chemistry Tests capabilities
at our some of our other labs supporting local programs and/or projects. Our Environmental Chemistry labs maintain
business day operational hours including weekend scheduling availability as needed for critical response situations.
Samples are received during regular business hours and Turn-Around-Times are tracked on business days. Lab
Turn-Around-Times offered include same day or next day, as well as for 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, 1 week, and 2 week
Standard TATs. Costs/rates are weighted based on the Turn-Around-Time requested with our 2 week TAT rates
being the most economically cost effective for our customers.
Sample control/processing (log-in, results data-entry, reporting) is facilitated by our computer Laboratory
Information Management System (LIMS) which tracks individual samples and Sample Delivery Groups (SDG)
to help ensure we meet the clients specified due dates and special instruction directives such as reporting value data
objectives and/or special QC requirements specific to the SDG. Additionally, the LIMS includes security controls
to ensure that information is controlled (locked) once the data has been documented and entered by the Bench
Chemists. Reports are delivered at the choice of the customer which would include email, hard-copy regular mail,
or both. Additionally, EMSL can provide Electronic Data Deliverables (EDD), as well as various QC Data Packages
(RDD, ASP, CLP, etc.) if required. Key tests include (but not limited to) the following:
