What Analytical Laboratories does

Analytical Laboratories, Inc. is an independent environmental testing laboratory founded in 1983 and headquartered at 4208 Bethlehem Pike, Telford, Pennsylvania, serving the Southeastern Pennsylvania market. The company provides fee-for-service laboratory analysis of water, wastewater, soil, and air samples, employing standardized EPA methods to detect contaminants including heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium), bacteria (coliform, fecal, iron-related), petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, PFAS (via EPA Method 537), radon, and asbestos. Its product surface spans individual tests priced $7-$125, bundled residential packages such as DW1 ($145) and DW2 ($550), and specialized industrial panels including Regulated VOCs ($300), Industrial Solvent Scan ($350, 41 unregulated compounds) and GC Fingerprint Analysis ($225). Turnaround times range from 3 to 21 business days, with an optional rush service priced at 2x with 1/2 the turnaround time, and a $45 sample-pickup charge.

The company complements its analytical services with professional consulting offerings, including Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments for property transactions and regulatory compliance, plus expert witness testimony for environmental contamination litigation. It does not sell environmental equipment or represent distributors, positioning itself as an unbiased third party and referring clients to an informal network of abatement, remediation, and equipment vendors. The firm holds Pennsylvania state laboratory certification (#09332), which qualifies its results for regulatory and legal use.

Analytical Laboratories operates a direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business model: residential well owners, industrial and commercial clients, and real estate professionals in SE Pennsylvania request tests via the company's website, an online price list, phone, or email; submit samples directly to the Telford lab; and self-collect using bottles provided by the company. The firm has 51-100 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no AI/ML or software products. Its go-to-market relies on minimal digital presence, regulatory-agency resource linking, and word-of-mouth rather than formal marketing or sales infrastructure.

• EMSL Analytical, Inc. Independent environmental testing laboratory specializing in mold, asbestos, lead, radon, and indoor air quality, with a direct-to-consumer price list model closely mirroring Analytical Laboratories' approach. Operates a national network but maintains the same small-lab, personal-service positioning.
• Microbac Laboratories: Multi-regional environmental and microbiological testing laboratory network offering drinking water, wastewater, soil, and air testing under similar state-certified methodologies. Comparable in serving residential well owners and industrial clients with tiered test packages and a similar independent-laboratory stance.
• Alpha Analytical: New England-based environmental testing laboratory offering drinking water, wastewater, soil, and PFAS analysis with published price lists. Closely comparable in scale and independent-laboratory positioning to Analytical Laboratories, with a similar specialty in residential and small-commercial water testing.

Broad incumbents

• Pace Analytical Services: National environmental testing laboratory network offering water, soil, and air analysis with hundreds of service centers. Operates as a broad incumbent that overlaps with Analytical Laboratories' core drinking water, soil, and emerging-contaminant testing menu but at materially greater scale and geographic reach.
• ALS Environmental (ALS Limited): Global testing services provider with an environmental division that performs water, soil, sediment, and air analysis. Comparable on PFAS, VOC, and petroleum hydrocarbon testing methodologies, with a sample logistics network that can reach Southeastern PA clients.
• Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories: Major environmental and pharmaceutical testing division of Eurofins Scientific, operating large-scale analytical labs across the US. Competes with Analytical Laboratories on drinking water packages, PFAS testing, and environmental site assessment work, but serves national accounts and offers broader method menus.

Emerging players

• Galson Labs: Industrial hygiene and environmental testing laboratory specializing in air, wipe, and bulk samples for occupational and IAQ applications. Comparable on asbestos, radon, and indoor air quality testing methods but with a narrower water/soil footprint than Analytical Laboratories.
