GENERAL INFORMATION

AccuLab, Inc. is a privately owned, independent, full service analytical and environmental testing laboratory based in Marrero, LA.  Marrero is suburb of New Orleans.  AccuLab, Inc. is a small business concern whose principals are 30+ year veterans of environmental testing and who are actively involved in its day to day operations.

Established in 1983 to provide quality laboratory services for NPDES water discharge permit holders, AccuLab has grown to provide services in all aspects of analytical and environmental testing including solid and hazardous waste characterization, groundwater monitoring, methods development and quality control testing.  The growth of AccuLab has been steady because of our commitment to providing personalized service to each of our clients.  This commitment has limited the number of jobs we are willing to undertake.  We now have in place a strong multi-disciplined staff and system which allows us to accommodate a larger sample load without sacrificing the personalized service we have built our reputation on.  Examples of the personalized service AccuLab provides for our clients are our 24-hour on-call policy and customized report formats.  In the New Orleans area call us at (504) 371-8557, elsewhere please call 1-800-291-1294.

Through strategic partnerships with a number of related companies, AccuLab is able to offer a wide variety of turnkey services including equipment operations and maintenance, site assessment and remediation and regulatory interfacing.  Through contacts we have developed over the years with laboratories in other testing fields, AccuLab can handle requests for almost any type of testing.

The hallmark of any laboratory is the quality of the data produced in the laboratory.  AccuLab has in place a quality control system designed to meet or exceed requirements of the USEPA and LADEQ for data quality.  For environmental samples, AccuLab uses only methods approved by the agency administering the program for which the samples have been collected.  For any other sample submitted, we attempt to use standard methods (ASTM, API, etc.) when possible.  If no standard method exists, or if the standard method is not amenable to the sample matrix, AccuLab can modify a standard method and validate the modified method to assure useable test data.

AccuLab, Inc.'s pricing is competitive with both larger and smaller laboratories.  However, because of AccuLab’s personalized service, value per dollar is greater at AccuLab since clients get the data they need in a format suitable to their needs in a timely manner.

Call us at any time to discuss your needs.  Our telephone number is (504) 371-8557 in the New Orleans area or 1-800-291-1294 elsewhere.  We'd love to hear from you.
