In the Lab: What Testing Do You Need?

What Do You Do "In the Lab" at EAG Laboratories in St. Louis?

A lot of people ask what we do here at Eurofins EAG Laboratories in St. Louis. The best way to summarize our services at this location is to to say that we do investigative analytical chemistry. In other words, if any product or manufacturing problem can be solved by performing analytical chemistry, we can probably do that testing in our lab!

Our first “In the Lab” video explains more about what we do! Watch now: In the Lab: Investigative Analytical Chemistry

Do You Have an Issue with Your Product and Need Testing?

In this video, Wendy, a Technical Specialist, explains how the team at EAG Laboratories in St. Louis can help you whether you know exactly what testing your product needs, or if you have no idea and would like helpful guidance.

What Testing Do You Need?

You may know exactly what testing you need or you may not have any idea at all – you just need someone to tell you what to do.

That’s why EAG has built a team of Technical Specialists who understand the science and will work with you to set up the right testing for your product.

We get a lot of different types of requests and one of the most common ones is identification of an unknown material. We’ll ask you some questions to understand a little bit more about your sample and your testing needs like:

  • What is the background information of the unknown material? Where did it come from?
  • Is there an image of the sample or a description?
  • Are there are any suspect sources for the unknown material?


These questions help us understand the general nature of the sample and how straightforward or complex the preparation for testing may be. We even have techniques that can analyze down to single particles if you are worried about sample size. Once we understand the sample, and the goals of the testing, we can recommend tests that help determine the identity of the material.

We tailor our approaches to your testing needs!
