Field Services
Columbia Analytical has the communication and scheduling skills necessary to coordinate complex projects over large distances. We can coordinate field and mobile services with those performed by our fixed facilities.
Analytical Services
We perform analytical field services for many of our clients. This includes mobile laboratory services as well as rapid field screening techniques. Typical field chemistry parameters include:

Mobile Laboratory
Our mobile laboratory services offer convenient, personalized service to our clients. Equipped with gas chromatographs, infrared spectrometers and field test kits, our fleet of mobile laboratories has been field tested for ruggedness and dependability in environments as extreme and diverse as Alaska and Arizona.
The mobile and field units generate timely results, eliminating delays due to shipping or laboratory capacity. Final reports are subject to the same rigorous quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures as those executed in our fixed laboratories.
Electronic data deliverables are also available. The most cost-effective and appropriate methods are identified to meet the client's data quality objectives for each project. Capacity of the mobile and field units depends on what analyses are run, the number of chemists present, and the level of deliverable required by the client. We have delivered results from 10 tests per day to 60 tests per day from a single unit.

Field Sampling
We perform field sampling services in the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest. Field sampling capabilities include:
- Groundwater monitoring
- Clean sampling techniques
- Soil coring
- Automated effluent sampling
- Ecosystem assessment
In response to our clients’ needs, each Columbia Analytical location has developed varying levels of field sampling and field chemistry capabilities. This additional flexibility allows us to offer a complete service package, from sampling to data delivery.
Our in-house or contracted sampling crews are fully trained and OSHA certified for work on hazardous waste sites. Specialties include groundwater monitoring, soil coring to depths of six feet, soil-gas direct push, and automated effluent sampling.
We also provide passive diffusion sample bags to save time and sampling costs.
