MRIGlobal Recognized for Expertise in Special Purpose Sampling, Analysis

With more than 40 years of experience conducting environmental sampling and analysis programs for industry and government, MRIGlobal is a recognized expert in this field.

MRIGlobal’s highly trained analysts have sampled and provided analysis of hundreds of thousands of samples and have deep expertise in the development, validation, and promulgation and codifying of sampling and analysis methods.

MRIGlobal uses this expertise to deliver special purpose sampling, such as niche application support, custom packaging of sampler devices, and sampling devices for rugged-use scenarios. MRIGlobal can customize samplers to fit particular needs for sampling air, water, solids, and biological materials.

 Our Capabilities:

• High containment chemical and biological facilities including aerosol and vapor chambers, environmental test chambers, wind tunnels, an experimental field station, Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) and BSL-3 and aBSL-3 laboratories
• Secure indoor test bed for challenging sensors with waterborne contaminants
• Advanced air-sampling techniques for collecting bioaerosols, particulate matter, and soluble vapors
• Modeling and simulation, and analysis for siting sampling and monitoring
• Extensive instrumentation for chemical and biological characterization, including optical and mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
• Air quality assessment and management, including risk assessment of air toxic emissions, emission inventories, emergeny release assessment, and risk management prevention plans
• Stringent laboratory quality assurance, certified by numerous state and federal agencies and accrediting organizations

 MRIGlobal’s Special Purpose Sampler Design and Development Successes:

• Proprietary Sampling device: MRIGlobal developed a special-purpose sampling solution, a  portable device for detection of micron-sized particles, airborne biological particulates, toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) and toxic industrial materials (TIM). This device is used in indoor air-quality monitoring, and infectious disease investigations in public buildings, among other uses.
  
  
• Evaluation of field monitoring equipment: MRIGlobal has evaluated continuous monitoring instruments for hazardous air pollutants (HAP), TIC and TIM emissions, assisted military users in extreme conditions, and delivered performance evaluations on instruments. 
  
  
• High-Volume Chemical Sampler: MRIGlobal developed a proprietary air collection sampler for accurate measurement of nanogram quantities of volatile chemical vapors. This filter, which can be used as a passive sampling device or in concert with a high-volume pump, demonstrates precise and linear results over a range of concentrations, collection times, and environmental conditions.
