Laboratory Services

The IOS laboratory offers many services that integrate into mineral exploration:

Our laboratory is restricted to a rigorous quality control protocol during sample preparation and during geochemical analyses. The manufacturing of various reference materials is also right up our alley.
 

IOS meets the requirements of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for importing and handling foreign samples (licence and certification).
