Overview Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) was established in 1992 as an environmental testing laboratory in Signal Hill, California. ATL offers a wide variety of chemical and physical analyses, including organics and inorganics in water, wastewater, soil and hazardous waste. Services are offered to engineering firms, government agencies and other laboratories. On December 2005, ATL opened a Service Center in Las Vegas to enhance service to Nevada customers. Since the opening of the Service Center, ATL’s client base grew enough to warrant the establishment of a physical presence in Las Vegas. ATL is accredited to perform environmental analytical services by the following regulatory agencies:

• State of California Department of Health Services (ELAP) • State of Nevada Division of Environmental Protection

Copies of these certificates are included as part of the Appendices. ATL has developed a superior quality system to both fully comply with the specific requirements of the above agencies as well as ensure accurate and consistent results for each of our clients. Each staff member is fully committed to quality and client responsiveness. ATL is a full-service environmental testing laboratory. Our business is providing analytical services to meet the needs of your project, your facility or your corporation. Whether you need analysis by traditional EPA methods or require a method developed by our chemists, ATL has a team of experienced professionals to successfully achieve your goal. And with state-of-the-art equipment, instrument redundancy and a computerized Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), ATL provides timely analytical results to its clients. We maintain versatility in meeting client needs and are able to perform and develop specialized testing in compliance with routine and non-routine investigations. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Methods, Standard Methods and SW846 Methods are utilized to perform analysis, and our strict quality assurance program validates analytical results.
