Pacific Rim Laboratories Inc. (PRL)
Based in Surrey, BC, Canada, Pacific Rim Labs is one of the most highly respected ISO 17025 accredited and experienced high resolution mass spectrometry testing labs in the world. For more than a decade we have worked with governments, regulatory agencies and corporations across the globe that require environmental tests with the lowest detection limits possible (in some cases, parts per quadrillion), serving clients in Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and across Canada and the United States. These include long-standing relationships with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology, for example. Our testing has also been used as evidence in the World Court (The Hague) and in many other jurisdictions that require ultra-precise, highly reliable testing for contaminants in water, air, soil, plants, animals and foods, as government agencies develop their public policies, solve disputes, or look for answers to important environmental questions.

Testing and Reporting In Line With What You Require; Results Explained In A Way You Understand
Our team becomes familiar with the rules and regulations for your specific area and region -- regulations around dioxins, PCB’s and Organochlorine Pesticides, like DDT, for example -- and ensures all testing and reporting is exactly in line with what you require.
After nearly four decades in the industry, we know how to explain the regulations in your region in common terms, then work with you to help you understand the intricacies of detection limits and how they relate to regulatory limits, for example.
We also offer advice and clarification the entire way through each project, so that you understand what the analysis means and why it matters. You learn how to clearly explain the results to others in your organization or to government regulators.
PRL can test substantially under the limit required by most jurisdictions, making false positives improbable. Since we have the ability to test as low as parts per quintillion, 10-18 there is never a question that the data is sound.
And because of our high standing in the industry, we work closely with equipment manufacturers, beta testing new products to help them discover new ways of improving already intricate, finely tuned equipment.
