Field Sampling

Field Sampling is an important discipline of strong growth for XENCO Laboratories. We are currently seeking to expand in this market via Local Organic Growth, Inter Laboratory Cross-Training, Xenco Partners and Acquisition. Effective the spring of 2008 our Field Teams are equipped with PDA devises for real-time access to historical data, on-line data entry of field testing results and access to sampling points information and characteristics. The goal is to provide our Clients and Project Managers non-compliance notifications real-time. Comprehensive field sampling services are available at most XENCO Facilities, please contact your XENCO PM to discuss your needs.

Asbestos and IAQ

Asbestos and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) are disciplines of strong growth and focus for XENCO Laboratories. We are currently seeking to expand in this market via Local Organic Growth, Inter Laboratory Cross-Training, Xenco Partners and Acquisition.

Mold Analyses

XENCO was previously TCEQ and AIHA Certified but in 2007 due to the low volume of Mold testing we decided not to renew the Certifications. We continue to provide some mold testing if certification is not required. Our Standard Turn Around is 3-4 days and for Cultures is 7-14 Days. Various Turn Around Times are available: Same Day, 24 hours, 48 hours and three days. Please contact Danielle Winnings or your project Manager for arrangements and availability.

Most common Analytical Methods:

Air-O-Cell/Allergenco Standard & Expanded Lists*
Direct Exam
Bulk Culture
Swab Culture
Andersen Plate Culture

* Includes a mold spore, skin, fibers, insect parts and pollen count.
Our IAQ/Mold team benefits from the leadership of Danielle Winnings, BS in Biotechnology - Montana State University. Mrs. Winnings has worked in the mycology industry since 1997.

XENCO has scored 100% on all EMPAT studies for Mold.

Mobile Labs (OLS)

XENCO Laboratories is proud to offer On-Site Laboratory Services (OLS) on the Southeastern region of the USA. We added wireless access to our LIMS for direct access to LIMS and be able to provide real-time EDDs and Standard, full QC Reports. Our goals are to quickly set-up a fleet of three Mobile Laboratories to serve the state of Florida and its surrounding areas. However, if a project is large enough we will travel wherever your needs may be. The first laboratory is now ready to serve your needs. We are currently developing analytical methodologies and instrument configurations to deliver a much larger throughput of analysis per hour. Some of these methods could result on delivering as much as ten analyses per hour for several parameters. All instrumentation is fully automated and completely integrated within our network.

Every Mobile Laboratory is or will be NELAC Accredited for a specific set of parameters. GC-MS EPA 8260 is the primary method of certification and expertise. However, the Mobile Labs are retrofitted to handle FL-PRO TPH, GRO, DRO, PAHs and SVOCs but NELAC certification is not available. If your projects goes beyond GC-MS VOCs please schedule it with ample time, at least 4 weeks.


Advantages of using our Mobile laboratories:
Real-time, high quality data on site.
LIMS integration with the Network Laboratories via Wireless Connection
Fully accredited and/or certified.
Small Business / Minority-Hispanic.
Fast through put, allowing you to make rapid field decisions such as where to place the next monitoring well, how deep to install the Well.
Best delineation decisions to determine the exact extent of contamination.
In addition to the advantages gained by having real-time information, our clients also realize reductions in overall project costs by minimizing stand by time, remobilization of equipment or it could avoid setting-up permanent Monitoring Wells and even get site closure on the spot. Our personnel would assist your field operations with any logistics to ship samples to any of our other accredited laboratories for final confirmation or additional analysis.

Typical Applications:
Site assessments Investigations
Contaminated soil removal
Plume delineation
Monitoring well placement
Soil gas surveys and Ambient air monitoring projects
