Testing Methodologies for Chlorinated Herbicide

 

 

Teklab is a leading environmental testing laboratory based in the Midwest, because of our location, we have been specializing in chlorinated herbicide analysis for decades. Our organics department regularly analyzes soils, water, and special wastes for a wide range of herbicidal compounds, including those listed under EPA 615 and SW846 8151. Herbicidal compounds are chemicals that are used to control weeds and have a variety of chemical structures and modes of action. 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, and local regulatory agencies may require testing for compounds not included on standard EPA 615 or SW846 8151 lists. In such cases, 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.
