EMSL is pleased to announce the recent move of their Charlotte laboratory. The new facility is a state of the art 4,500 square foot building which nearly doubles EMSL’s laboratory space. This move was necessitated by EMSL’s tremendous growth in the Charlotte area since opening in June 2008. Contributing to this tremendous growth has been the steady addition of quality personnel and laboratory accreditations at this facility. The laboratory provides mold, lead, asbestos and indoor air quality testing to environmental, health & safety, government agencies, indoor air quality and inspection professionals throughout the world. In addition, the laboratory is currently in the process of adding metals testing capabilities. The new location sits between Interstate 77 and Interstate 485.

Clients may then begin sending their Asbestos PLM bulk samples, Asbestos TEM air samples, fiber count PCM air samples and Mold samples as well as any other samples needing to be analyzed by the corporate laboratory.
