Sediment & Tissue Analysis
Alpha Analytical has earned a national reputation for analytical excellence in the areas of hydrocarbon forensics, sediments, seawater, and tissue analysis. Among the laboratory's analytical support specialties are ecological/human health risk assessment, dredging and MGP applications. Projects such as these are the most challenging, in that samples are, by far, the most difficult matrices an environmental laboratory will receive and they generally have the most stringent requirements for low detection limits and data quality.
Sediment & Tissue Expertise
Exceeding client expectations for these types of projects requires comprehensive and representative sample preparation and clean-up techniques on the front end of the analytical process followed by sensitive and robust instrumental technique. Alpha has considerable experience with the proper preparation, homogenization, clean-up and long-term sample storage on a wide variety of sediment and tissue sample matrices.

Data Management Tools for Ecological Risk Assessment
Alpha Analytical has recently incorporated a series of screening levels and regulatory criteria for ecological evaluations and assessments into our Data Merger on-line data management system. This database tool provides for fast and efficient comparison of your sample analytical data to the criteria of your choice. Multiple criteria can be compared simultaneously in a wide variety of custom-built data tables containing highlighted exceedences of sample results and reporting limits with Excel file download capabilities. Data Merger can also group data from multiple laboratory reports into a single electronic file containing as many as 2000 samples.
Sediment & Tissue Facilities
Alpha's Mansfield laboratory has been specifically designed, equipped and staffed to support these project applications in order to meet, or exceed, your expectations.
