About Chemisches Labor Dr. Graser
Chemisches Labor Dr. Graser KG is an independent testing laboratory in Schonungen near Schweinfurt, accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. Its range of services includes scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water analysis (including drinking, ground, surface, process and wastewater), hygiene and microbiological testing, radon measurement and radon protection consulting, lubricant and mineral oil analysis, building contaminant, indoor air, radioactivity and organic trace substance analysis, as well as NMR analyses, GGVSEB tests and AwSV classifications. For the analysis of solids, a gold sputter coater, low-temperature ashing and in-house sample preparation are available; specially equipped vehicles enable accredited on-site sampling. The laboratory is recognized as a drinking water testing facility pursuant to §15 of the Drinking Water Ordinance by the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety. A team of doctoral chemists, food chemists, microbiologists, chemical engineers and technicians offers analysis, consulting and expert opinions from routine to special analysis. In 1994, the company moved into a laboratory building in the Schonungen industrial estate, which was extended in 2018 by a second laboratory building.
