“Over the past five years I have run hundreds of water samples through Cel Analytical. I am consistently happy with the quality of service. Yeggie and her team provide high quality data with a quick turn around time. I sometimes collect samples on short notice, but Cel has always been able to accommodate my last-minute requests. They provide prompt and helpful answers to all my questions. I give Cel Analytical my strongest recommendation.”
