Bigelow Analytical Services

Putting Advanced Technology to Work

Bigelow Analytical Services (BAS) delivers high-quality analytical solutions through a state-of-the-art facility staffed by expert scientists at the forefront of environmental, biological, and chemical research.

We partner with public and private organizations — locally, nationally, and internationally — supporting diverse fields, from marine and freshwater chemistry to aquaculture, fisheries, and pharmaceutical research.

Our team is known not only for rigorous, reliable testing but also for our refined analytical methods, developed to meet complex and evolving research needs, all with a commitment to accuracy, efficiency, and timely delivery.

Analytical Expertise and Innovation

Beyond our core analytical offerings, BAS is continually advancing new methods and technologies to address emerging scientific and environmental challenges.

Drawing on Bigelow Laboratory’s research expertise, we adapt existing approaches and develop custom solutions tailored to novel questions, complex matrices, and cutting-edge applications. Whether responding to new regulatory needs, facilitating discovery-driven research, or supporting innovation across sectors, we bring flexibility, creativity, and scientific rigor to every project.

Custom Method Development

• Development and validation of new analytical methods
• Adaption of existing protocols for novel applications
• Support for regulatory, pilot-scale, and R&D projects
• Expertise in complex environmental and biological samples

If your analytical challenge doesn't fit a standard workflow, we will build a solution for you.

Emerging Technologies

Our key analytical equipment includes:

• HPLC (including photodiode array and fluorescence detection and post-column oxidation approaches)
• LC-QQQ-MS (LC with triple-quadrupole mass-spectrometer)
• LC-TOF-MS (LC with time-of-flight mass spectrometer, including DART ion source)
• EA-IRMS (elemental analyser coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometry)
• GC-MS, FID, and ECD (Gas chromatography coupled to mass-spectrometer, flame ionization detector, electron capture detector)
• High-sensitivity spectrofluorometry
