Serving The Chicago Metropolitan Area
Teklab is devoted to helping our clients with meeting their needs to get the most accurate results in a timely manner. Our standard turnaround time of one week or less demonstrates our ability to prioritize rush samples whilst still maintaining a productive batch prep time with reletively low deviation. We understand that not all sampling matrices are equal, this means that unforeseen difficulties arise, but we have the experience necessary to mitigate the effects of unwanted interference. Most often, we can reprep batches that have issues passing analysis in a timely manner and get your results reported within the TAT standard regardless. Our experts have the knowledge required to get complex consituients tested and validated, reported and delivered to you via your preferred method.
