State Accredited Bacteriological Testing with a Reputable Lab in El Centro!
Babcock Laboratories, Inc is counting the days until the launch of our local lab in El Centro. As soon as formal notification is received, the El Centro Microbiology Lab and Service Center will expand Babcock’s offerings to include testing for bacteria in drinking water and wastewater performed in the Imperial Valley.
We are thrilled at the opportunity to add to our local service capabilities and enhance our long-standing relationships with the people of the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. Our new microbiology lab meets the strict and rigorous standards set forth by the State of California's Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP). This stringent accreditation process, based on the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation standard, further demonstrates Babcock’s commitment to providing high-quality data of known and well documented quality, and to customer satisfaction.
Following receipt of ELAP certification of the facility, the new laboratory will offer Imperial County and Coachella Valley clients the ability to have samples for short-holding time bacteriological methods analyzed at a commercial lab operating close by. By opening the El Centro lab, Babcock also hopes to increase the flexibility of sample receiving hours.

Formal notification from the California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) is the final step prior to our Grand Opening, at which time we will also announce any changes to the current sample submission protocols and hours of acceptance.
