About Us | X-LAB

X-Lab is a full-service, independent analytical laboratory that performs a wide range of organic and inorganic chemical analyses on water, soil and air sample matrices.

We are accredited by SANAS in terms of ISO/IEC 17025:2017and we are a Level 4 B-BBEE contributor.

OUR HISTORY

When SGS South Africa closed its environmental division in June 2016, their laboratory was reinvented as X-Lab.

We opened our doors in October 2016 and have grown from there to become a full-service, independent analytical laboratory for the environmental monitoring industry.

X-Lab has successfully maintained its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation by SANAS since October 2016.

OUR PROCESS

X-Lab uses various methods and instruments to perform the analyses our clients request, from simple, reliable wet chemical techniques to automated instrumental methods such as inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, ion and gas chromatography and spectrophotometry.

We used a cloud-based, secure, access-controlled LIMS system to manage our analytical data.

This allows for the assignment of unique, anonymous numbers for each sample, a minimum three tier data validation process and automated generation of reports.
