Microplastics Testing Services

Cinnaminson, New Jersey, October 16, 2026

Microplastics, plastic particles smaller than five millimeters, are increasingly being found in drinking water, food, consumer products, indoor and outdoor air, and ecosystems around the world. Their ability to travel long distances and accumulate in unexpected environments has prompted regulatory agencies and scientific institutions to intensify research, monitoring, and oversight. As a result, organizations across many sectors are seeking accredited laboratories that can deliver accurate, defensible, and actionable microplastic testing data.

EMSL Analytical, Inc., one of North America’s leading environmental and materials testing laboratories, has expanded its advanced analytical capabilities in recent years to support this growing need. EMSL’s microplastic services are designed to identify, quantify, and characterize microplastic particles across a wide range of sample types and industries.

“With microplastics becoming a priority concern for researchers, policymakers, and businesses alike, our clients need trustworthy data to guide decision-making,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “EMSL has invested heavily in instrumentation, expertise, and standardized methodologies to ensure high-quality analytical testing. Whether organizations are evaluating environmental contamination, assessing product purity, or supporting research and regulatory compliance, we are prepared to assist.”

EMSL’s microplastic testing program utilizes state-of-the-art analytical techniques to characterize particle type, size, shape, polymer composition, and concentration in matrices such as water, soil, food products, textiles, dust, sediments, and industrial materials.

In addition to laboratory analysis, EMSL provides sampling supplies and technical guidance to ensure proper collection and handling of materials prone to microplastic contamination. EMSL’s experts also assist clients in interpreting laboratory results and developing strategies to mitigate exposure risks in industrial, occupational, and consumer environments.
