–Testing Methodologies for Chlorinated Herbicide–

 

 

Teklab, a premier environmental testing laboratory based in the Midwest, has decades of expertise in chlorinated herbicide analysis. Our strategic location and extensive experience have positioned us as a trusted resource for accurate and reliable testing.

Our dedicated organics department routinely analyzes soils, water, and special wastes for a broad spectrum of herbicidal compounds, including those regulated under EPA Method 615 and SW846 Method 8151. Herbicides, commonly used for weed control, exhibit diverse chemical structures and modes of action, requiring precise analytical techniques to ensure compliance and safety.

Some of the common herbicides we test for include:

  • 2,4,5-T
  • 2,4,5-TP (Silvex)
  • 2,4-D
  • 2,4-DB
  • 3,5-Dichlorobenzoic Acid
  • 4-Nitrophenol
  • Acifluorfen
  • Bentazon
  • Chloramben
  • Dalapon
  • DCPA
  • Dicamba
  • Dichlorprop
  • Dinoseb
  • MCPA
  • MCPP
  • Pentachlorophenol
  • Picloram

We understand that there is a wide range of herbicides in use today, as such, local regulatory agencies may require testing for compounds not included on standard EPA 615 or SW846 8151 lists. In this case, our semi-volatile organic testing laboratory can conduct validation studies to determine whether your specific herbicide compound can be extracted and analyzed using these reference methods while maintaining compliance with NELAC accreditation standards.

Our project managers and expert customer service team is here to give you the peace of mind by exhibiting their proven knowledge of domain in the field of environmental chemical and biological analysis, contact us to establish a relationship and we can partner up to tackle your needs no matter how specialized or specific.


Even if the herbicide in question is not routinely tested or does not fall under an EPA-approved method, we strongly recommend consulting a NELAC-accredited environmental testing laboratory. This ensures that the analysis meets the highest standards of accuracy and regulatory compliance.
