DRINKING WATER

Michelson Laboratories, Inc. is certified by the California Department of Health Services to perform a variety of analyses on drinking water samples. Our 20,000 square foot facility houses an array of advanced equipment designed to conduct these tests. In microbiology our laboratory professionals routinely conduct “water potability” analysis that determines the level of general bacteria (heterotrophic plate count) and Coliform in a water sample using the Standard Methods of analysis for Water (SMWW) protocol. We can take this analysis a step further by using our Vitek identification unit. The Vitek automates the biochemical identification of various bacteria in drinking water and generates data that can identify specific bacteria types.

In addition to our microbiological capabilities with drinking water, we also perform a variety of chemical analyses in our vast wet chemistry and instrumentation departments including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), total dissolved solids (TDS), residual chlorine, metals, general physicals and others.

Along with testing services we provide consulting and advise clients on a number of topics including how to properly collect samples for microbiological and chemical analyses and which containers and preservatives are required for particular tests. We also have an in-house courier department that can assist with your sampling and sample pickup needs.
