Biological Activity Reaction Test (BART) is a bacterial activity detection method used to identify and semi-quantify potential bacterial presence in water samples. The role of bacteria in the myriad of natural and engineered events are becoming appreciated. These range from the obvious (taste, odor) to the subtle (bioaccumulation). BART testing provides a means to monitor either the state of the microbial population or the impact of treatment.

Vermiculite is the mineralogical name given to hydrated laminar magnesium-aluminum-iron silicate which resembles mica in appearance. Vermiculite ores from some sources have been found to contain asbestos minerals, but asbestos is not intrinsic to vermiculite. Vermiculite has been used in various industries for over 80 years. It is used in the construction, agricultural, horticultural, and industrial markets.

EMSL offers a variety of analysis options to identify asbestos in vermiculite. To learn more about vermiculite, visit https://lnkd.in/ey8H8Tsy

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Staph infections, including those caused by MRSA, can spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school.

EMSL provides Presence/Absence (EMSL Test Code M729) or Quantitative (EMSL Test Code M730) MRSA analysis in environmental swab samples. To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/eEMw9_MF.

Soil will often contain asbestos fibers either as naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) or by contamination from asbestos containing building materials. Verifying the presence of asbestos fibers in these materials may often be necessary prior to alteration, remediation, or removal of such material.

EMSL offers four levels of analysis for the EPA/600/R-93/116 and CARB 435 Method: Level A PLM (0.25% sensitivity level); Level B PLM (0.1% sensitivity level); Level B TEM (0.1% sensitivity level); and Level C TEM (0.01% sensitivity level).
