|
Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, McCampbell Analytical tests drinking water, effluent,
soils, solids, hazardous waste, air, industrial materials and food for a wide variety
of chemical compounds including organic, inorganic and metallic contaminants. |
We provide:
|
- High quality data
- Excellent pricing
- Sample pick up service
- Excellent customer service
- Outstanding technical expertise
- Standard five-day turn-around-time
- Rush turn-around-time upon request
- Open 8:00 am - 9:00 pm for sample receipt
- 32,000 sq. ft. of laboratory space at our new state of the art facility in Pittsburg
- Free pick up & delivery throughout the Bay & Sacramento areas; free sample bottles & brass liners
-
Two convenient sample drop off & re-supply locations in addition to our lab:
- Enviro-Tech, East Bay: #101, 4851 Sunrise Drive, Martinez 94553; 800-468-8921
- Enviro-Tech, North Sacramento: #S, 11275 Sunrise Gold Circle, Rancho Cordova 95742; 916-852-8856
|
Good scientific practices determine the high quality of our analyses such as:
|
- Daily initial standards and method blanks verify the calibration curve of each instrument.
- Analysis of quality control check standards periodically throughout each day’s sequence, assures validity of calibration over time.
- MAI adds surrogates to every sample extracted for most analyses, including ICP metals and TRPH, to evaluate extraction efficiency for each sample.
- Quality control data such as LCS, LCSD, spike, spike duplicate, surrogate recoveries, sample duplicate, and/or serial dilution data accompany all reports.
- MAI participates in blind third party performance evaluation tests.
|
In addition to high quality and cost savings, McCampbell Analytical has the following advantages:
|
- Diverse testing capabilities, including over 300 analytical methods covering virtually every analyte & matrix in the environmental field encompassed by gas, liquid, & ion chromatography, metals, anions, wet chemistry. Recent additions include bacteria, bioassay, & soil, ambient & stack gases. HRGC-LRMS Dioxins & Dibenzofurans (EPA 8280A & 613) with the same sensitivities as HRMS were added to our capabilities in February 2009.
- Significant testing capacities for nearly all test methods accommodate large sample loads & RUSH TATs, as well as facilitating on-time reporting for routine work. For example, our daily capacities are, conservatively, 200VOCs, 100 CAM17s, 120 TPH(d), 200 G-MBTEX, 80 SVOCs, 80 Cl-pesticides, 80 PNAs, plus many more. Instrument redundancy helps meet TAT commitments in spite of instrument breakdowns.
- Extensive selection of compounds to add to a method’s basic target list
- Comprehensive pesticide and organometallic analysis capabilities
- Expertise to characterize fuels for site investigation projects
- Unique ability to set up for new compounds or new methods at reasonable pricing due to the excellent quality of our staff & equipment
- Very low error rate in all facets of our laboratory operation - high quality data, full QC reports, absence of false positives and false negatives, dual column \ dual detector \ GC-MS confirmation for most GC analytes
- The best customer support group to answer questions and respond to your needs
- COELT, Write On, and customized electronic data formats available, in addition to PDF, fax & paper formats

MAI’s core competency is in environmental methodologies. However, we have an extensive library of analytical methods that takes us beyond the environmental field, such as: |
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- American Public Health Association - Standard Methods (APHA)
- Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC)
- American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
- California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA)
- Soil Science Society of America (SSSA)
- National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health - Manual of Analytical Methods (NIOSH)
- Pesticides Analytical Methods (PAM)
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- Bacterial Analytical Manual (BAM)
- Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
- United States Geological Survey (USGS)
- American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC)
- Food & Drug Administration – Food Additives Analytical Manual (FDA)
|
|
Over the next 2 years, we will focus on diversifying our environmental testing capabilities, including:
|
- NELAP accreditation
- HRGC-HRMS Dioxins & Furans: EPA methods 1613B & 8290
-
Gas Analysis specialty fields:
- VOST & SPME media analysis
- Sulfur-containing gases
|
|
In addition, we hope to offer more services in the fields of:
|
- Wine Chemistry
- Food & Agriculture
- Pharmaceuticals
- Petroleum
- Military Contract Projects
- Bacteria, Molds & Fungi
