Planning your project
A scope that fits
your requirements.
Explore the details, or talk with us about your sample. We confirm methods, documentation, and timing before testing begins.
Review Quality StatusIdentification workflow
Screen
Use broad-spectrum techniques to narrow compound class, functional groups, and molecular features.
Compare
Match against libraries, known materials, retained samples, or reference standards when available.
Confirm
Use orthogonal techniques and expert interpretation to strengthen the identification.
Timing and turnaround
Standard turnaround
5–10 business days for most analyses.
Expedited QC packages
As fast as 24 hours when method, matrix, and capacity allow.
Rush service
Quoted case-by-case, subject to method fit, sample receipt, and lab availability.
