-
n-Butanol
-
Isopropanol
-
4-Methyl-2-pentanone
-
Amyl Alcohol
-
Butyl Acetate
-
Cyclohexane
-
Diisopropyl Ether
-
Ethyl Acetate
-
Furfural
-
Isobutyraldehyde
-
Isopropyl Acetate
-
m,p-Xylene
-
Methyl formate
-
n-Amyl Acetate

n-Heptane
-
n-Hexane
-
o-Xylene
-
tert-Butanol

Tetrahydorfuran
Our volatile organics department routinely performs specialty analysis like EPA 1666 PMI for other environmental testing labs. Teklab also analyses PMI compounds by Methods EPA 524.2 and and EPA1671.
If you have any questions please feel free to email us:
We realize that there are a lot of unique organic compounds in existence and local regulatory agencies may require testing for compounds that are not on the standard EPA or SW846 lists. When those situations arise, we can (and do) perform validation studies to see if your particular compound can be extracted and analyzed using those reference methods and thus meet NELAP accreditation standards.
We recommend that you contact a NELAP accredited Environmental Testing Laboratory even if your organic compound of concern is not “routinely” analyzed or in an EPA approved testing method.
