Chemical Analysis

At Envirocare Laboratories, we combine scientific excellence with industry-leading accuracy to deliver ISO 17025-accredited chemical testing services.

Whether analysing drinking water to meet SANS 241 standards, testing effluent, borehole samples, food products, soil, or even an unusual scale deposit, we ensure reliable results you can trust.

From essential water quality parameters to advanced analyses of metals, nutrients, and organic content, we provide the insights needed for compliance and informed decision-making. With cutting-edge techniques and a dedicated team of experts, we uphold the highest standards—because great science drives better solutions!
