ALS Geochemistry
ALS Geochemistry has been a purveyor of analytical geochemical services on a continuous basis since 1966 with more than 80 commercial laboratories operating under a hub and spoke business model unique to the geochemistry sector. Rather than operating a collection of individual laboratories, ALS Geochemistry laboratories are a truly integrated network. Wherever in the world samples are received, they can be processed for any sample preparation or analytical technique, either by the local laboratory or by quick transport to another location with guaranteed consistency and oversight.

Analytical procedures appropriate for all elements of interest to an explorer or metal producer are available for clients engaged in exploration, mine grade control, concentrate and bullion determinations, acid-base accounting, as well as process plant control.
