The Analytical Chemistry department at RPC is committed to providing excellent customer service, producing reliable results using the latest analytical equipment and techniques. For over 25 years, we have been providing analytical services to environmental consultants, government departments, local authorities, pharmaceutical manufacturers and other industries. Robust chain of custody and quality control systems ensure accurate results with a flexible reporting format to match individual needs.

The laboratories maintain a wide range of sophisticated analytical equipment including ICP-MS, HRMS, GC/AED, and LC/MS-MS, all supported by highly skilled operators. Analyses are offered in a variety of standard and complex matrices including synthetic products, food stuffs, solid wastes, oils, fabrics, effluent, air, and plant & animal tissues.

RPC has established a reputation in the field of specialty analyses and method development. To take full advantage of these unique capabilities, clients are encouraged to contact us regarding non-routine analytical requirements.
