Don’t take chances with human health when it comes to VOCs and SVOCs! Сòòò½APP’s testing for advanced Volatile Organic Compounds and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) ensures you comply with strict regulations, safety guidelines and legislations whilst avoiding exposure. Our global ISO 17025 accredited laboratories use state-of-the-art equipment and robust methods to provide accurate, low-concentration, high-volume testing, across a wide range of material types and environments. 

 

What is VOC Testing? 

VOC testing is a critical analytical process that identifies and measures volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various materials, products, and environmental samples. These compounds are chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature and can pose risks to human health and the environment. Сòòò½APP's VOC testing services employ advanced techniques to detect and quantify these substances across a wide range of applications. Our testing capabilities extend to both VOCs and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), covering materials such as consumer products, building materials, automotive components, environmental samples and more.

Detect VOCs at Extremely Low Concentrations

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can pose significant risks, even at extremely low concentrations, making them critical yet challenging to detect. It is crucial that VOC testing methods are sensitive enough to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to address any potential risks. Сòòò½APP’s advanced technology makes us perfectly suited to this requirement. We use state-of-the-art equipment, including Gas chromatography / Mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), Gas Chromatography with flame-ionization detection (GC-FID), and High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Our ISO 17025-accredited methods guarantee accurate and reliable results, helping you stay compliant and avoid legal issues.

 

Maintain Sample Integrity and Minimize VOC Losses

Accurate VOC testing depends on maintaining the integrity of your samples during collection. Any loss or contamination can compromise the results.
To address this, we offer a variety of specialized sampling media including desorption tubes, tedlar bags, evacuated canisters, bottlevacs, VOC Vials, methanol preservatives and DNPH cartridges. 

Additionally, our experts will help you choose the best sampling method to minimize VOC losses and ensure sample integrity. This attention to detail ensures that your results are both accurate and reliable, covering a range of matrices including watersoilwaste, oil, ambient air, soil vapor, and off-gas from car components.

 

VOC Testing Services & Capabilities

  • Methanol Preserved VOCs: Сòòò½APP provides sample kits for soil VOC analysis using methanol preservation, in accordance with BS 10176 (UK) and EPA Method 5030 (US/Canada).
  • VOCs on Sorbent Tubes: Сòòò½APP offers sorbent tubes for VOC air sampling, with thermal or solvent desorption options. Suitable for chlorinated solvents and TPH CWG, including BTEXN.
  • VOCs in Canisters: We provide evacuated canisters, BottleVacs, and Tedlar Bags for ambient and vapor intrusion sampling over periods from minutes to 24 hours.
  • VOC Testing for Products: Сòòò½APP uses various methods, including Tedlar bags, microchambers, and thermal desorption, to sample VOC emissions from products and materials.
