microbiologic-testing

RTI Laboratories offers a wide range of microbiological testing services, including Heterotrophic plate counts, Chlorophyll A, Coliform Bacteria, Fecal and Total Coliform. Our chemists are experienced in potable, surface and storm water analysis and can support large volumes of samples throughout the testing seasons of the year. RTI has ongoing projects with CSOs, wet and dry weather stream studies, municipal contracts and many other clients where the critical compounds of concern are bacterial components. RTI also has a limited set of tests that are done through Immunoassay or ELISA type plating. These tests are typically used for large volume studies and are most recently being applied for Hazardous Algal Bloom (HAB) monitoring.
