PBR Laboratories offers comprehensive water chemistry analysis services to ensure the safety, quality, and compliance of water used in various applications. Our advanced testing capabilities cover a wide range of chemical parameters, including total metals, dissolved metals, and all the criteria required for water potability testing as outlined by Health Canada. We also provide custom packages tailored to meet specific parameters as per customer needs.

Key Components of Water Chemistry Analysis:

  • Total and Dissolved Metals Testing: We accurately detect and quantify metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, copper, and iron in water samples. Our testing ensures compliance with regulatory standards and helps identify potential contamination sources.

  • pH and Alkalinity: Measurement of pH levels and alkalinity to assess the acidity or basicity of water, which is critical for water quality and treatment processes.

  • Hardness and Calcium/Magnesium Concentration: Analysis of water hardness, determined by the concentration of calcium and magnesium, to evaluate scaling potential and impact on infrastructure.

  • Nitrate and Nitrite Levels: Testing for nitrates and nitrites, which are critical for assessing agricultural runoff and contamination of drinking water sources.

  • Chloride and Sulfate Concentration: Measurement of chloride and sulfate levels to identify potential sources of contamination and corrosion in water systems.

  • Fluoride Testing: Determination of fluoride levels to ensure compliance with health guidelines and support dental health recommendations.

  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Analysis of TDS to assess the concentration of dissolved substances in water, which can affect taste and usability

  • Turbidity and Color: Measurement of turbidity and color to evaluate water clarity and potential contamination by suspended particles.

  • Organic Compounds and Pesticides: Testing for the presence of organic compounds and pesticides to ensure the safety and quality of drinking wate

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Detection of VOCs, which can originate from industrial pollution and affect water quality.

Custom Packages:

We offer custom testing packages tailored to your specific needs, allowing you to select the parameters most relevant to your water quality concerns and operational requirements.

Regulatory Compliance and Reporting:

Our testing services comply with Health Canada's Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality, providing you with the documentation needed to support regulatory compliance and safety claims. We deliver detailed reports with clear data interpretation and offer expert consultation to help you address water quality issues.
