What do You Want to Measure?

 

The list below represents a broad overview of the types of analytes examined in ALEC. We specialize in project development and analysis of a variety of compounds and chemicals, so if you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us. We can communicate a more comprehensive list of our prior projects, as well as discuss the possibility of new method development for your desired sample.
