Who is ARS?
ARS specializes in full-service laboratory capabilities, including radiochemistry, standard chemistry, industrial hygiene, and other specialty services.
Our Port Allen, LA, laboratory performs a full complement of analytical services, including VOCs, metals, and radionuclides for approximately 50,000 samples annually.
In addition to our primary laboratory in Port Allen, ARS has the capability to set up mobile sample management offices (SMO) and mobile laboratories to support client projects directly onsite.
Our SMOs offer a secured space, installed facilities, and equipment -- allowing us to receive a range of samples (e.g., air, soil, sediment, GW, drinking water, process water, waste, oils, and building materials). This approach allows for direct customer interface, ensuring full support of analytical sampling needs and reliable scheduling, packaging and shipping of samples for off-site analysis.
