What International Asbestos Testing Laboratories does

International Asbestos Testing Laboratories (iATL), now operating as Eurofins iATL within Eurofins Scientific SE's Built Environment Testing division, is a US-based environmental analytical testing laboratory founded in 1986 and headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. The company provides fee-for-service laboratory analysis across asbestos, lead, and radon detection; mold and environmental microbiology; industrial hygiene air sampling and chemical exposure assessment; Legionella and endotoxin testing; environmental forensic microscopy; USP-compliant environmental monitoring for pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities; and (since 2008) nanoparticles and consumer products testing. Its core technology is conventional analytical instrumentation and microscopy operated by certified laboratory staff, with a quality assurance program that exceeds minimum regulatory requirements and a standardized 24-hour turnaround service offering.

The business model is straightforward transactional fee-for-service: customers — environmental consulting firms, industrial hygiene professionals, building owners, healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities, and consumer product manufacturers — engage iATL directly by phone or website, submit samples, and pay per analysis. Distribution is direct and US-domestic. The lab sells primarily on technical credibility (38+ years of operating history, AIHA LAP LLC accreditation, peer-reviewed publications in mycological and industrial hygiene journals, certified staff, and a proprietary fungal reference library of 100+ species) and on turnaround speed. Marketing is content-led, with technical blogs, webinars, and a fungal reference library targeting environmental and industrial hygiene professionals.

Since being acquired by Eurofins Scientific SE (Euronext Paris: ERF), iATL has been positioned as the built-environment specialty node within a global testing network, gaining access to broader analytical capacity and international compliance expertise while retaining a single-site US operating footprint. Recent strategic emphasis has been on regulatory-driven service expansion (USP <797>/<800> hazardous drug wipe sampling via the ChemoSure product, AIHA LAP certification scope expansion, and content positioning around EPA methylene chloride ECEL, TCE monitoring, MSHA silica rules, and the NYC Legionella monthly testing mandate effective 2026).
