Controlled Facilities
Our facility consists of over 11,000 square feet, 65% of which is dedicated to laboratory space. With over 600 linear feet of bench space, Mitkem is designed for high throughput and efficient laboratory operations. Separate secure areas are dedicated to sample receipt and storage. Mitkem has individual organic and inorganic sample preparation laboratories and individual instrumentation rooms for extractable organics, volatiles and metals analysis.


Data Delivery
Mitkem Laboratories has upgraded its capability to generate CLP format data reports from a wide variety of sample analyses. A major investment was made in the Target with Quick Forms data processing and packaging system for chromatographic and mass spectrometric instruments. This system is used to generate CLP and "CLP-like" data deliverables from virtually any organic sample analysis.
