Based in Surrey, BC, Canada, Pacific Rim Labs is one of the most highly respected ISO 17025 accredited and experienced high resolution mass spectrometry testing labs in the world.
For more than a decade we have worked with governments, regulatory agencies and corporations across the globe that require environmental tests with the lowest detection limits possible (in some cases, parts per quadrillion), serving clients in Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and across Canada and the United States.
These include long-standing relationships with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology, for example. Our testing has also been used as evidence in the World Court (The Hague) and in many other jurisdictions that require ultra-precise, highly reliable testing for contaminants in water, air, soil, plants, animals and foods, as government agencies develop their public policies, solve disputes, or look for answers to important environmental questions.
Very few laboratories worldwide have the ability to both test at such low levels and to interpret that data for their clients. Pacific Rim Laboratories spends time with each of our clients, helping them understand what the regulations mean, explaining the process and results in ways that make sense to non-chemists who will need to understand and communicate those findings to others in their organizations.
Pacific Rim Labs has a culture of striving for continuous improvement. Having top of the line instrumentation, personnel and the commitment to doing better has positioned Pacific Rim Labs at the forefront of trace organic analysis. This dedication to our craft has us well positioned with several environmental & government agencies, to whom we often consult and partner on difficult analytical problems.
PRL has been performing trace organics analysis for A. Lanfranco and Associates (ALAA) in support of regulatory requirements in Canada and abroad for over 20 years. ALAA has found that PRL consistently delivers reliable and repeatable analysis for a variety of contaminants including dioxins, furans, HCB, PCB, PAH and others. PRL is a reputable laboratory which we have no hesitation recommending to other stakeholders.
