LABORATORY ANALYSIS
Enviroforensics
WHITE KNIGHT provides valuable scientific data on chemical and bio-hazards present, enabling the appropriate decontamination strategy.
Laboratory analysis includes the identification of chemical substances and biological contaminants from samples supplied in bulk, swab or dust collection formats.
Following a fire or water damage, buildings and personal property can be affected by microscopic contaminants, that may be a cause of concern and a risk to human health.

Our Lab Analyses
Water Testing
Structural Material Moisture Content
Measurement of water content in a building material sample and testing its weight (gravity) in a range of controlled wet and dry conditions.
Salts Analysis
Salts analysis can be performed for a wide range of minerals and is typically used to provide data to assist in identifying the source of moisture ingress, in damp or water damaged buildings.
Chemical Analysis
For users operating in water maintenance industries, such as drinking water and wastewater who need to perform water analysis testing in-situ or in laboratory environments.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Analysis
An initial assessment of the total VOC content in a sample area. However, a complete composition by spectral analysis can be carried out if necessary.
Mould Testing
Bulk Surface Sampling for Mycometer Lab Analysis
Mycometer testing quantifies mould by the measurement of enzyme activity present in spores and hyphae.
Bio-tape Lift Sampling
Standardised sampling method for the determination of mould, microbial and inorganic dust contamination.
Air-O-Cell Air Sampling
Air-O-Cell sampling allows rapid collection of airborne particulates, followed by microscopic analysis of the impacted samples.
Hygiene Tests
Bacteria Swab Testing
We provide test swabs for a range of different bacterial species such as E.coli, Coliform, Salmonella, etc....
ATP Swab Testing
ATP hygiene monitoring is used to provide accurate results that define, monitor & maintain cleaning standards within a facility.
TVC Swab Testing
TVC/Aerobic Colony Count is a basic measure of bacterial activity on a surface sample.
Other Analyses
Insect Identification / 3D Observation
On-site micro-vacuum sampling and then using stereo microscopy can identify what insects are present and speciate the samples.
Electrical
We perform cleaning and analysis to IESO / RIA Standard 6001 using the Elcometer 135C Bresle Test Patch method to determine the concentration of soluble chloride salts on uncoated surfaces in accordance with the ISO 8502-6 test method.
Soot / Char Microscopy
Analysis and evaluation of highly toxic and carcinogenic contaminants remaining from fire or smoke damage at a property.
