Our industrial hygiene laboratories conduct testing in compliance with ISO 17025 and various local and regional accreditations, including the American Industrial Hygiene Association. As a long-standing member of the ASTM organization, AGT Labs offers a comprehensive range of analyses and collection methods. We utilize media from 3M, SKC, and Assay Technology, including cassettes, tubes, Tedlar© gas sampling bags, HDS samples, and other specialized media following EPA, NIOSH, and OSHA methods. Additionally, we provide routine sample media kits containing PVC filters, MCE filters, sorbent tubes, pumps, and other essential equipment.

1. What is required for crystalline silica collection analysis by XRD?
For collecting respirable crystalline silica for analysis by XRD, you will need a calibration pump to collect the air, a 37 mm cassette with 5.0 microgram PVC filter and a connector (cyclone) to attach the cassette to the pump. We have pumps and media available if notification is given in advance. If respirable dust is also wanted for the same sample then a 37 mm cassette with a pre-weighted PVC filter is used. Both analyses can be done on the same filter.
2. Why is crystalline silica analysis needed?
This analysis is needed to determine how much respirable articles of crystalline silica are in the air. Crystalline silica can be found in construction materials such as sand, mortar and concrete. These particles are released into the air when workers cut, drill or crush the materials. Too much exposure to respirable crystalline silica can lead to silicosis, a type of deadly lung disease, and other respiratory diseases. The OSHA silica standard requires monitoring.
3. What is your standard Turnaround Time (TAT)?
4. What are rush charges and when are they needed?
- 1 BUSINESS DAY TURNAROUND TIME = 100% SURCHARGE
(When applicable)
- 2 BUSINESS DAY TURNAROUND TIME = 75% SURCHARGE
(When applicable)
- 3 BUSINESS DAY TURNAROUND TIME = 50% SURCHARGE
(When applicable)
- 4 BUSINESS DAY TURNAROUND TIME = 25% SURCHARGE
(When applicable)

6. Will you ship sample kits from AGT Labs to our facility? If so, what is the cost?
7. Do you provide Sample Media?
AGT Labs can provide sample media (at cost with a surcharge) provided the laboratory is given at least 5 days notice. Routine kits include PVC filters, MCE filters, sorbent tubes, chain of custody forms and Federal Express return shipment forms with AGT Labs’ ID number. Other media, pumps and related equipment are available for additional charges. All sample media will be charged to the client immediately after the media kit is ordered or given to the client.
