    GCAL’s Laboratory in Baton Rouge has more than 15 years experience in the analysis of biological tissue. Biota analysis is the determination of the accumulation levels of toxic substances in plant and animal tissues. The determination of toxic residues in organisms populating a contaminated area is an important part of the ecological risk assessment process. GCAL’s biota lab performs methodologies for tissue extraction and analysis on a variety of matrices. Several projects have included analyses involving:

    • Fish, Amphibians, Turtles, Oysters, Shrimp
