The Schenectady laboratory operation was started in 1989 by Robert E. Wagner, Lab Director and Robert W. Stoll under Northeast Analytical (NEA). This laboratory is the newest acquisition for Pace Analytical Services. The laboratory is 15,000 square feet originally specializing in high resolution PCB analysis and expanded its analytical services in the 1990’s to include; Inorganics, Metals, Volatiles (VOCs) and Semi-Volatiles (SVOCs). Although the laboratory has expanded its services, it have stayed at the forefront of PCB measurement and research. We have developed congener specific PCB analytical methodology that have supported many programs investigating PCB problems and issues in several major river systems in the United States.
