Osten Laboratory, with its extensive expertise in water analysis, is your trusted partner for comprehensive physical and chemical testing. Water is governed by strict environmental laws and regulations, covering not only drinking water but the entire water cycle—including surface water, groundwater, process water, and wastewater.
We analyze all waste classified as generic waste according to industry legislation. We provide analytical capabilities that cover waste characterization and composition, as well as waste acceptance criteria (WAC) for wastes such as asbestos, slag, and sludge.
For soil investigation and soil remediation projects, the testing of environmentally relevant parameters on soil and groundwater is of great importance. We perform testing on routine parameters like heavy metals, TPH, PAH, BTEX, aromatics, and pesticides, as well as non-standard parameters. We use recent technologies offered on AAS, GC/MS, and HPLC for analysis.
Petroleum biomarkers are “molecular fossils” that can be analyzed with gas chromatography to fingerprint crude oil. Using samples from your soil and water, Osten conducts hydrocarbon fingerprinting, an environmental forensic test that enables us to evaluate the release of petroleum in soil, sediment, and water. The data generated helps to:
Identify the source of contamination (your site or neighbouring facility)
Track the time-frame for contamination (for instance, previously used industrial site)
Differentiate between pollutants from oil and petrol and biogenic sources such as plant material.
To register a new chemical, companies are required to conduct specific toxicity tests by regulators. Regulators use models to predict a chemical’s toxicity based on its potential risk to the environment. We carry out toxicity tests on organisms exposed to these chemicals routinely. Based on the obtained data, ecotoxicological properties of substances, chemical products, and wastes are assessed. Moreover, for scientific purposes, sub-chronic and chronic toxicity tests are performed on fish, crayfish, and their early-life stages.
