Growing to meet the needs of our clients has been a consistent theme in Lancaster Laboratories’ history. In 1961, we began with a 2,500-square-foot building. Eleven expansions later, our 27-acre campus includes three modern facilities with a total of more than 230,000 square feet of space equipped with state-of-the art technology, instrumentation and resources, including:

Nearly 800 technical and support staff members working three shifts, as well as weekends, to accommodate projects around the clock.
Dedicated laboratory space for specific technical areas and instrumentation, including 35 GC/MSs, 3 HRGC/HRMSs, 50 GCs, 8 HPLCs, 2 ICP/MSs, 5 ICPs, 2 Cold Vapor Hgs and 1 AF Low Level.
Centralized sample receipt locations that facilitate sample processing so laboratory groups have access to samples soon after their arrival.
A unique state-of-the-art automated sample storage and retrieval system (ASRS) for maximum sample security and efficient sample handling. The only ASRS in an environmental laboratory, this system has the capacity to store about 64,000 samples and combines robotic cranes, carousels, computers and sample bar coding to allow for detailed and controlled sample tracking and quick sample retrieval to speed the laboratory testing process.
Positive pressure GC and GC/MS Volatile laboratories to eliminate interferences and ensure that data is accurate and reliable.
Bulk solvent delivery fleet involving 52-L and 215-L refillable stainless steel containers for all high-use solvents used in our Organic Extraction laboratory. Our custom design ensures better product consistency, stability and lot integrity.
Dedicated, negative-pressure laboratories for all organic extraction labs to restrict solvent contamination.
