Fish Tissue & Biota Testing

Testmark provides specialized testing for fish tissue, vegetation, and other biota.

Testmark is one of only a handful of Canadian labs specifically accredited for samples of this nature. Having worked with many mining and environmental clients, we know that the sampling effort to harvest biota specimens is often quite significant. Rest assured that we put the same care and attention to detail in the analytical testing component.

Each submission is uniquely profiled, and care is taken to gather information on your specific requirements before analysis, including sample prep considerations, reporting preferences for dry or wet weight, and optimizing detection levels.

We have experience working with clients on customized studies, including low-volume submissions and we provide analysis for a variety of analytes including PCBs, metals, lipids, herbicides and pesticides.
