Microbiological Testing

Water testing reports in accordance with statutory is essential for pharmaceutical, personal care, cosmetic, food and beverages industries and Analytical Technology Laboratory is an accredited laboratory that helps businesses meet their evaluation and certification requirements.

Inadequate sanitation and quality control processes lead to water contamination by pathogenic microbes. Faces of humans, birds, animals and livestock contaminate water making it unsuitable for consumption. Microbiological analysis helps in determining the presence of faucal contamination in water and is a critical aspect of water testing.

Trace metal elements

Metals like lead and iron, metalloids like arsenic, and radionuclides like radium and radon are found in the aquatic environment and are produced naturally and as a result of human activities. Naturally occurring sources of trace elements include soil erosion, dissolution of water-soluble salts and rock weathering, whereas, mining, urban runoff, industrial emissions, and nuclear reactions are some of the human activities that lead to the formation of trace elements in the water. These elements deposit at the bottom while some dissolve in the water posing a threat to human beings and aquatic species. ATL performs quick and cost-efficient trace element analysis, providing adequate reports to organisations as per regulatory guidelines.
