Axys Analytical Services Ltd.
AXYS Analytical Services Ltd. is a trace organics laboratory
specializing in GC/MS methods including dioxins/furans, PCB
congeners, organochlorine pesticides and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons in a wide variety of matrices including aqueous and
drinking water, air, solids, soils, sediments, biosolids,
sludges, biological tissues, vegetation, breast milk, human
blood, plasma and serum. Other analyses include sterols,
nonylphenols, polybrominated dioxin/furans, polybrominated
diphenylethers, polychlorinated naphthalenes, phthalate esters,
and polybrominated biphenyls.
AXYS has over twenty-five years of analytical experience,
capabilities and resources to draw on. This combination of
attributes has allowed AXYS to concentrate in baseline
monitoring, ecological and human health risk assessment work
where low detection limits and a high degree of specificity in
results are required. AXYS has earned a reputation for providing
defensible analytical data of the highest quality. This
reputation is based on two integral components: The development
and use of methods that allow quantification to industry-leading
low-level detection limits, and the establishment and
maintenance of a rigorous in-house QA/QC system.
AXYS maintains an extensive list of international clients
including those from the USA, Japan, Vietnam, Russia, Europe,
New Zealand, Australia, the Czech Republic, Barbados and the
United Kingdom. In addition, our scientists have been involved
in trips overseas to assist in developing laboratories, sampling
and monitoring projects for the following countries: Russia,
Czech Republic, Europe, Fiji, Vietnam and in the remote Canadian
Arctic. Many of our joint collaborations have resulted in
scientific papers, presentations and international recognition.
Data you can rely on - WHO does!! In 1996, the World Health
Organization (WHO) coordinated a comprehensive study on the
analytical precision of laboratories performing the analysis of
dioxins, furans and PCBs. The aim of this study was to ensure
reliability and comparability of analytical data from exposure
studies, and also to encourage the development and improvement
of analytical methodologies and analytical capacity. Twenty-four
laboratories from fourteen countries participated in the study.
Axys Analytical Services was the only laboratory to meet
criteria for the analyses of PCDDs, PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs
in both human plasma and human milk. For complete details see

AXYS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) in
cooperation with the Canadian Association for Environmental
Laboratories (CAEAL) to ISO Guide 17025, and by the U.S.
National Environmental Lab Accreditation Program (NELAP).
