SGS provides unmatched geochemical and analytical testing services worldwide.
Professional staff in our global network conducts a wide range of single parameter, stand-alone chemical tests that are not combined into multi-element packages. We have the experience and technical excellence to apply these individual methods when you need to determine specific parameters.
SGS’s globally accepted test methods include wet chemical techniques and specific testing capabilities designed to measure your element of interest. We can address any request for specific non-routine determinations. Our routine suite of single element tests includes:
