Core offering

Medico Kemiske Laboratorium is a Danish chemical analysis laboratory that provides accredited and non-accredited testing for environmental and health-related contaminants, including PCB, PAH, chlorinated paraffins, PFAS, fragrance allergens, isothiazolinones, asbestos, mold/fungi, brominated flame retardants, metals, oil substances, bisphenols, phthalates, parabens, and pesticides, in materials, air, and products. The company also delivers chemical consulting and process support services covering contamination identification, raw material control, and end-product content verification for production environments.

Product overview

Medico Kemiske Laboratorium operates as a Danish chemical analysis laboratory offering a portfolio of chemical testing and consulting services. The company provides accredited analysis services for environmental and health-related contaminants across multiple substance categories. Their service offerings are organized as individual laboratory analysis services covering specific contaminant groups (PCB, PAH, PFAS, metals, asbestos, mold, etc.) rather than a unified software platform. They also provide chemical consulting and process support services. The company collaborates closely with Dansk Miljøanalyse for building industry advisory, with both entities sharing premises but functioning as independent units.

Products and services

• PCB Analysis (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) Analysis for PCB compounds in most materials including air; PCB is a group of 209 persistent organic pollutants regulated by the EU.
• PAH Analysis (Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons) Analysis for PAH (tar substances) in most materials including air; PAH compounds are formed during combustion and high-temperature processes and are widespread environmental contaminants.
• Chlorinated Paraffins (KP) Analysis Analysis for chlorinated paraffins across SCCP (C10-13), MCCP (C14-17), and LCCP (C18-30); SCCP is regulated under the POP Regulation with municipal limit values for construction waste.
• Fragrance Substances Analysis Analysis for fragrance substances including the 26 EU-regulated allergens.
• Isothiazolinones Analysis Analysis for commonly used isothiazolinone preservatives (MI, MCI, BIT) used in paints and personal care products that can cause allergies.
• Asbestos Analysis Analysis of all materials for asbestos fibers; relevant for older buildings with asbestos-containing materials and for testing mineral raw materials.
• Mold/Fungi Microscopic Identification Microscopic analysis of imprint plates, air samples, and tape samples for mold/fungi in indoor climate investigations, production facilities, food production, and other manufacturing environments.
• Brominated Flame Retardants Analysis Analysis for brominated flame retardants including PBB, PBDE, and HBCDD; limit values apply to products such as electronics.
• Metals Analysis Analysis for a wide range of light and heavy metals on virtually all materials.
• PFAS (Perfluorinated Substances) Analysis Analysis for the most commonly used non-polymer PFAS substances in materials such as firefighting foam, textiles, and chemical mixtures; the company continuously expands with new substances in its PFAS packages.
• Oil Substances Analysis Analysis for total oil content in fractions C6-C10, C10-C15, C15-C20, C20-C35, or for specific substances such as BTEX; relevant for suspected contamination of soil, concrete, or production facilities.
• Bisphenols Analysis Analysis for bisphenols A, B, C, E, F, G, M, P, S, Z, AF, AP, FL, BP, PH, and related compounds BADGE, BFDGE, BADGE-2H2O and BADGE-2HCl, which are considered endocrine disruptors.
• Phthalates Analysis Analysis for phthalates including DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP used as plasticizers in PVC and other products.
• Parabens Analysis Analysis for paraben preservatives including Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isopropylparaben, and Isobutylparaben.
• Pesticides Analysis Quantitative analysis for selected pesticides.
• Process Support Services Monitoring of chemical substances in relation to production, including contamination identification, end-product content control, and raw material control for industrial customers.
• Chemical Consulting Advisory services enabling customers to protect the environment and public health through chemical analyses and interpretation of results.
