Superior Monitoring and Compliance Testing Company
PFAS and Volatiles Testing
Polyfluoroalkyl compounds represents a class of more than 10,000 man-made chemicals which can be harmful and sometimes toxic, even at low levels (parts per quadrillion). All PFAS compounds contain carbon-fluorine bonds, which are one of the strongest chemical bonds in organic chemistry. Frances Endicott has 30+ years managing and supervising analytical labs and protocols.
State of the Art Analytics
Ultra-Fast LCMS technology generates more high-quality data faster, with less maintenance downtime. We can process more samples, faster with no compromise in sensitivity. That means you get the actionable data you need – when you need it – to meet tight client demands and stay ahead of your workflow. We have selected the LCMS- 8060 NX a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer which delivers high-ion transmittance and high sensitivity, at a scanning rate of 30,000 u/s.
SVOCs
SVOCs are organic chemicals with a higher propensity to be liquids or solids rather than gases or vapors. The precise definition of SVOCs are organic chemicals having saturation vapor pressures between 10-2 and 10-8 kPa at 25 degrees Celsius.
Our laboratory information system (LIS), is a software-based system for managing laboratory workflow with architecture that processes, stores and manages data at all stages of handling and testing functions.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
RCRA is a federal law, passed in 1976 and modified numerous times, which governs the management and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA imposes strict comprehensive testing requirements to determine the chemical composition and characteristics of compounds designated as hazardous waste. With the increased emphasis worldwide on detection, education, and remediation, the demand for precise, timely testing will increase.

Skilled Experts and Advanced Technology
Frances Endicott, CEO, is recognized as an innovative leader in laboratory operations focused on regulatory compliance and best practices. James has joined us after 28+ years of working in a NELAC and ISO 17025 certified environmental laboratory for the City of Fort Lauderdale. Developing relationships with Florida Atlantic University (FAU) will assist in providing a stream of new graduates bringing with them new and emerging technology.
EcoLytix uses the most advanced technology and has selected the LCMS- 8060 NX as the primary system. The LCMS- 8060 NX is a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with world class sensitivity and detection speeds. The patented heat-assist design promotes ionization of a wide range of compounds. The hyperbolic mass filter maintains high ion transmittance and high sensitivity, at a scanning rate of 30,000 u/s.
Our laboratory information system (LIS), is a software-based system for managing laboratory workflow with a flexible architecture that processes, stores and manages data at all stages of handling and testing functions.
Favorable Market Trends Support Growth Case
The environmental compliance testing market is vast covering geologists, engineers, scientists, farmers, ranchers, homeowners, water system service, manufacturers, site development, and builders.
The compliance testing market is unbalanced with more demand than supply for PFAS and regulatory testing. This imbalance is expected to grow as increasing economic activity and increasing sensitivity for regulatory compliance testing both add to the backlog of testing needs.
Annual growth is forecast for environmental testing to average 10% to 12% for the next decade.
Barrier to entry for new testing companies is quite high because each new entrant requires capital investment for:
1) suitable office space including “clean rooms”,
2) newest advanced equipment and connectivity,
3) qualified staff and trained specialized technicians, and
4) management team with expertise in controlling and managing the highest levels of environmental compliance testing.
Mass Spectrometer is the Hub of Our Evaluation Process
PFAS Testing is a highly technical process demanding the newest technology and seasoned skilled supervisors. The mass spectrometer deciphers and separates each element on the periodic table (Next Page).
PFAS Are Highly Toxic Fluorinated Chemicals
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals used to make coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water.
PFAS and PFOA compounds are known as forever chemicals. These compounds are in the bloodstream of virtually every person on the planet. These chemicals will accumulate in your body over time as no place on the planet is purely safe from contamination.
You can protect yourself (and your family) by being aware of what you eat, where you live, and where you work. Education and smart choices are key to minimization of harmful chemicals.
Water purification treatments provide significant protection by elimination from 50% to 90% of the PFAS exposures
PFAS increase the likelihood of death by cardiovascular disease study shows: https://www.aol.com/news/pfas-increase-likelihood-death-cardiovascular-100016443.html
