Marine sediment and biota

Testing of marine sediment and biota

ALS can provide dedicated project management for dredging and marine sediment investigations.  Offering high quality data and assisting with project planning through to compliance with national and international conventions. These often remote projects are carefully planned and managed, reducing the risk of potential costly resampling.  ALS has developed numerous analytical programs for the assessment of contaminated sediments, which fulfil the most stringent classification of materials.

ALS also offers a range of tests for biota, and depending on the compound can test terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals, animal tissue, eggs, blood and serum, as well as human blood, human serum and human milk.
