Specializing in multi-matrix analysis, chemical characterization, compliance testing and regulatory research.
PHYSIS Environmental Laboratories, Inc. is a California SBE-certified, ELAP-accredited private practice offering General and Specialized Chemistry Support on both Standard and Custom In-line Production performance-based designs.
We specialize in the analysis and detection of chemical compounds, trace elements, nutrients and conventional parameters to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and the meeting of research needs. Our work spans the full environmental spectrum — from benthic sediment to atmospheric deposition, the waters and biota in-between.
We prefer personal contact and consultation over marketing and sales. Our professional promise: timely, courteous responsiveness to every inquiry.
Comprehensive solid-matrix chemistry and physical characterization supporting management next steps including multi-agency regulated disposition.
Aquatic food web, bioaccumulation and magnification studies, toxicological chemical identifications assisting ecological and human health risk assessments.
Analysis of aquatic species for trace metals and nutrients uptake to understand and augment functioning in natural and treatment systems to improve water quality.
Full-spectrum wastewater supporting influent/effluent, storm/surface runoff, riverine, receiving and marine water monitoring for NPDES compliance and water quality assessments.
Atmospheric particulate analysis for source assessment of potential land-use contributions to the fate and transport of hydrocarbons, pesticides, and trace elements including nutrients.
We operate as a consultative partner — not a transactional vendor. Every engagement begins with direct dialogue to understand your specific compliance or research requirements, assisting in finalizing then executing a testing protocol that fits your budget and project timeline.
We begin with personal contact — no automated forms or generic intake. Your inquiry reaches our scientific team directly and receives a response within 48 hours.
Whether as a standard or custom in-line production function — we configure your analytical program to meet identified analytes and limits, holding and turnaround times, all QA and PM reviewed then sent to you.
Testing is performed under California ELAP accreditation ensuring regulatory defensibility for environmental compliance, permitting, and, if necessary, litigation support.
We deliver clear, usable and actionable data reports and multiple available EDD formats — and expert staff remain available to walk through findings, interpret data with you, and answer agency questions on your behalf.
We prefer personal contact over marketing materials. Reach out directly — we promise timely, courteous responsiveness to every inquiry.
