Why Test Your Water?
Water contamination poses serious health, environmental, and industrial risks. Regular water quality checks help:
- Ensure safe drinking water (prevents diseases like cholera, arsenicosis)
- Detect heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury), bacteria, and chemicals
- Comply with BIS 10500, FSSAI, CPCB, and WHO standards
- Optimise industrial processes (pharma, food, textiles)
- Prevent pipe corrosion, scaling (hard water issues)
Types of Water We Test
We provide scientifically validated, NABL-accredited testing for all water sources, ensuring safety, compliance, and optimal quality for both industrial and domestic use. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the water categories we test and their key applications:
1. Drinking Water Testing

Water Testing & Analysis Methods – Advanced NABL-Certified Techniques
We employ cutting-edge, globally recognised analytical methods to deliver accurate, reliable, and compliance-driven water testing results. Our NABL-accredited laboratory utilises sophisticated instrumentation and standardised protocols to detect contaminants at trace levels (ppb/ppm) across all water types.
Chemical Analysis – Detecting Inorganic Contaminants
For chemical analysis, we use ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) for ultra-sensitive detection of heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury at parts per billion (ppb) levels. Spectrophotometry helps measure nutrients and inorganic ions such as nitrates, fluorides, and sulfates through colourimetric analysis, while titration methods quantify water hardness, alkalinity, and chlorides through precise volumetric analysis.
Microbiological Testing – Identifying Biological Hazards
Microbiological testing is conducted using the MPN (Most Probable Number) method to estimate faecal coliforms and E. coli, ensuring compliance with BIS 10500 standards for drinking water. Membrane filtration is another key technique we employ to isolate and count bacteria and fungi, particularly useful for detecting harmful microorganisms like Pseudomonas and Legionella in swimming pools and other recreational water sources.
Physical Tests – Assessing Water Appearance & Properties
Physical tests are equally critical in our analysis. We use turbidity meters to measure suspended particles through nephelometric principles, ensuring water clarity meets regulatory standards. pH and TDS meters provide essential data on water acidity, alkalinity, and total dissolved salts, helping determine suitability for drinking and industrial use.
Specialised Tests – Advanced Contaminant Detection
For specialised testing, we rely on advanced methods such as GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pesticides at parts per trillion (ppt) levels. Additionally, our BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) analyses assess wastewater pollution, measuring organic matter decomposition and industrial pollutant loads to ensure compliance with CPCB discharge norms.
What Contaminants Should You Look For?
