OnSite Environmental, Inc.'s (OnSite) organics department offers a wide range of analytical capabilities. We offer analytical methodologies in support of RCRA, CWA, and State Specific UST Programs. Our Laboratory capabilities for organic compounds include gas chromatography (GC), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The lab maintains gas chromatographs equipped with autosamplers and a variety of detectors such as flame ionization (FID), electron capture (ECD), and photoionization (PID). Sample introduction to the GCs is accomplished by direct injection, purge-and-trap, or automated headspace techniques.

Our reporting limits meet or exceed regulatory requirements for clean-up criteria, while focusing our attention to our clients specific project needs. Below is a partial list of our analytical capabilities. If you have questions regarding our capabilities or our capacity, please contact the laboratory.
