EMSL becomes Canada's only NVLAP Accredited TEM Air and PLM Bulk Asbestos Testing Laboratory

May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- EMSL Analytical, a leading provider of advanced environmental laboratory services, has recently announced their Canadian laboratory has been accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for TEM airborne asbestos fiber analysis.  This accreditation coupled with NVLAP accreditation for bulk asbestos fiber analysis by PLM makes EMSL the only laboratory in Canada to hold both accreditations (NVLAP Lab Code 200877-0).

The exciting news has been spreading quickly with area asbestos and environmental professionals who previously had limited local choices for their asbestos analysis. The recognition by NVLAP adds to the impressive list of accreditations EMSL and its close to 40 laboratory locations currently possess.

The Canada laboratory brings EMSL’s legendary customer service and competitive pricing directly to Canadian customers. In addition to the Canadian staff, EMSL has 17 Ph.D.s and 3 CIHs complementing a professional staff of almost 450 employees in the United States and Canada who provide the industry’s greatest capabilities and resources.

“EMSL is pleased to be receiving this recognition by NVLAP,” reported Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President, Marketing at EMSL Analytical. “Canadian asbestos professionals have been waiting for this positive development and the expertise that EMSL brings to the market with over 29 years of asbestos testing experience. EMSL is more than just an asbestos, lead, mold, bacteria, food, radon and DNA testing laboratory.  EMSL is not only able to provide routine testing services found at many other laboratories but also able to offer non-routine testing services found only at EMSL.  We are able to solve many complex problems through laboratory testing for a wide range of industries and applications.  By simply going to the project experience section listed in the qualifications area of our website, people can get an understanding of our laboratory capabilities," Frasca went on to report.
