PCM Cassette Analysis (NIOSH 7200)

Our laboratory provides expert Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) analysis of air samples collected on cassettes, following the NIOSH 7400 method. This technique is used to determine airborne fiber concentrations—primarily for asbestos monitoring in occupational environments.

NIOSH 7400 offers a reliable, cost-effective screening tool for regulatory compliance and worker safety. All samples are analyzed by experienced technicians in accordance with stringent quality assurance protocols, in compliance with WorkSafeBC Standards.
