Spectrum Analytical is a full-service environmental testing laboratory that specializes in the performance of organic, inorganic, wet chemistry, and microbiological testing in various matrices, as well as air analysis. Incorporated in 1990, Spectrum consisted of three employees and with our present leadership and business philosophy now employs over 150 qualified professionals and is recognized as one of the top 20 laboratories nationwide.
With the acquisitions of Mitkem Corporation and PEL Laboratories, Spectrum Analytical, Inc. featuring Hanibal Technology has evolved into a leading specialized environmental laboratory.
Spectrum’s successful business philosophy is based on three criteria: internal employee support, client support and satisfaction, and quality data.
Internal Employee Support - Spectrum’s commitment extends not only externally to its clients and community, but also internally to support our employees. This commitment focuses on communication and has resulted in the formation of policies for performance and resources for employees. These policies enforce implementation of the quality assurance plan and correct deficiencies that may develop, without jeopardizing the quality of services. This commitment ensures unnecessary pressures are not added to the already existing demands that employees of Spectrum Analytical face to provide quality work.
Client Support - Spectrum is committed to providing its clients with prompt, reliable results at competitive prices. The commitment to support our clients can be demonstrated through the services provided, many at no additional charge. These services are listed below:
- Rush service is always available and may be coordinated through the use of our Rush Analysis Request Form in eservice. Please ensure that a rush analysis request be sent in advance of sample submittal. This communication will help us prepare for your samples and assure you of the turn around time.

Please allow a minimum of 48 business hours notice to prepare and process your request. Requisitions may be completed online through our web site.
