Capacity & Instrumentation

 

We have provided a tabular summary of our laboratory capacity on a monthly basis. Over the last 12 months, EMAX has provided on-time delivery of our final data packages/reports in excess of 75%. For rush analyses (24, 48, and 72-hour) EMAX has had a 90% on-time record. During the last 12 months, EMAX has met holding time requirements in over 99.8% of VOA analyses and extraction hold times for waters, and 100% for all the analyses on soils samples.

EMAX has the capacity and duplicative instrumentation to handle large projects, and this allows us to provide results on time.
