Satellite Facilities

WETLAB’s satellite facilities in Elko and Las Vegas provide limited in-demand services to our local clients. Samples requiring analysis outside of the facilities capabilities are sent to our primary laboratory in Sparks for analysis.

WETLAB’s Elko laboratory provides Microbiology analysis including testing for E. coli, total coliforms, fecal coliforms, temperature, and odor.

WETLAB’s Las Vegas laboratory provides Microbiology analysis including testing for E. coli, total coliforms, fecal coliforms, temperature, and odor. In addition, the Las Vegas laboratory provides Wet-Chemistry analysis including pH, Orthophosphate, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Carbonaceous BOD (CBOD).

Subcontracting

If we are unable to provide a service in-house at one of our facilities, we can subcontract your remaining analyses to one of our trusted partner labs.
