POPs and CECs

SGS AXYS in Sidney, BC specializes in the measurement of low, ultratrace levels of known or suspected persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in environmental, biota and product samples. We offer state-of-the-art mass spectrometric analysis for more than a thousand compounds of interest. Our isotope dilution techniques and quality programs ensure data of industry-leading quality, detection limits and defensibility. Our expertise ranges from promulgated method tests including 1613B and 1668 for organochlorine legacy compounds like dioxins, PCBs and pesticides to analysis of emerging and pre-regulatory contaminants like PFAS, and pharmaceutical and personal care products in environmental, human, biota and food matrices. Our capabilities include custom method development and validation for new compounds of interest.  We are accredited under ISO-17025, NELAP an DoD ELAP for many of our tests.).

PFAS
