Soil and Solids Analysis
From everyday nutrient testing to complex contamination determination and monitoring at remediation sites, the analysis of soil is a critically important area of environmental monitoring. With regulations becoming more stringent and the list of harmful chemicals growing, you need a full spectrum of analytical technologies, providing you with the most accurate and sensitive analyses. From trace metals testing to VOCs and SVOCs to in-field soils analysis, PerkinElmer equips your testing lab with the tools to get the job done, reliably, efficiently and in compliance.
