Whether you call it Volatile Organic Analysis (VOA) or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Teklab can manage all of your volatile testing requirements.

Comprehensive Analysis of Semi-volatile Organic Compounds

At Teklab, we specialize in the precise testing of a wide variety of Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) to meet the rigorous demands of industrial, municipal, and regulatory clients. Our advanced environmental laboratory routinely analyzes soils, waters, and special wastes using state-of-the-art methods, ensuring that every test we conduct is both accurate and reliable. From BNA and PAH testing to pesticides and herbicides, our comprehensive list of semi-volatile methods is designed to address your specific needs.

Understanding that many unique organic compounds exist, and local regulatory agencies may require testing beyond standard EPA or SW846 lists, Teklab performs validation studies to ensure your particular compound can be accurately extracted and analyzed. We pride ourselves on maintaining NELAP accreditation standards, providing you with trustworthy and legally defensible results. Whether your testing requirements are routine or specialized, Teklab’s commitment to quality and precision ensures that your environmental testing needs are met with the highest level of expertise.

Teklab offers a standard turnaround time of five days for most analyses. However, for volatile organic analyses such as BTEX, Benzene, and SW846 8260B, we typically complete testing within three working days of sample receipt. With six VOA GC/MS units, we can efficiently handle a high volume of next-day and two-day samples. For an additional fee, same-day results may also be available.

All of our VOA/VOC and BTEX samples are analyzed using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) at competitive GC pricing. Environmental samples often contain matrix interferences that can complicate GC analysis without the added precision of a mass spectrometer. The GC/MS allows us to “see through” these interferences and accurately identify the “fingerprint” of the compounds of interest. While GC/MS analysis incurs higher costs, we believe the enhanced quality assurance and legal defensibility it provides are well worth the investment.

Speak with our experienced team to find out how we may be of assistance with completing your project. We understand deadlines and have the expertise, knowledge, and instrumentation required to fulfil your regulatory obligations or simply give you insight by analysis of complex matrixes. Regardless of application, we are here to assist you as a valued customer.


For the most reliable results when analyzing BTEX or other volatile compounds, we strongly recommend using GC/MS analysis.

Furthermore, as always, we encourage the use of a NELAP-accredited environmental testing laboratory, whether or not your specific application mandates it, to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
