Industrial Hygiene Testing Service Areas — One Accredited Lab, Nationwide Ship-In

No. AGT Labs operates one accredited laboratory in Houston and serves these areas as a service-area lab. We do not run branch offices in Louisiana, the Permian Basin, Oklahoma, Arkansas or the other Texas metros listed — we ship kits to your site and receive samples by courier, so you get one consistent accredited industrial hygiene result no matter where the sampling happens.

Yes — from anywhere in the United States. The regions listed above are where we run scheduled courier pickup, not the limit of who we serve. Because every sample is analyzed at the same Houston lab, the work is identical wherever it was collected: we ship a kit with a prepaid return label, your crew samples, and it comes back to us. Samples received before 2:00 PM CST are logged the same day. Our AIHA-LAP, NVLAP and PJLA accreditations are recognized nationwide, so the reports are accepted wherever your operations are in the U.S.

Turnaround is measured from when samples arrive at the Houston lab, not from when they're collected. From the Houston Ship Channel metros (Pasadena, Baytown) samples reach us the same day by courier; from the Golden Triangle, Corpus Christi, the Permian Basin, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas they typically arrive overnight. From farther afield, overnight shipping puts you on the same analytical schedule as a local client. Standard, rush and same-day analytical options are available — tell us your deadline and we'll confirm what's achievable for your location.

Yes. Our national accreditations — AIHA-LAP for industrial hygiene, NVLAP for asbestos bulk PLM, PJLA for bulk PLM and air PCM, and ISO/IEC 17025 — apply to the analysis wherever the samples are collected, because the work is performed at our Houston lab. All three of our accreditation bodies are recognized nationwide. Location pages outside Texas show only these national accreditations; the Texas pages additionally reference Texas state programs where relevant. A few states also run their own laboratory approval programs — New York's ELAP, for example, certifies laboratories analyzing samples that originate in New York State regardless of where the lab sits — and some states license the on-site inspector or abatement contractor separately from the analyzing lab — we're glad to clarify what applies in your state before you ship.

Yes. We ship filter cassettes, sorbent tubes and the right media for your target analytes, along with chain-of-custody paperwork and instructions, to job sites anywhere in the U.S. Pre-calibrated sampling pumps are available through our loaner program for qualifying accounts. AGT Labs is an analytical laboratory and does not perform field sampling, so collection is done by your team or your consultant — we scope the kit for your hazards before it ships, and review the sampling plan if you want a second pair of eyes on it. If your team is not set up to collect, an industrial hygiene consultant or your safety contractor can run the round and send the samples to us.
