Water Analyses

Eurofins has a long history of analysing a wide range water types with extremely fast turnarounds available as standard.

To achieve this we have the most advanced laboratory equipment at our disposal. The analytical methods used comply with national and international standards and are carefully recorded and continuously monitored through first, second and third line checks. 

Eurofins also offers several methods for detecting possible contamination of sediment. Below is an overview of the most common water analyses.
