Tetra Tech provides comprehensive, accredited laboratory and analytical services across agroscience, environmental, food safety, forensic, and PFAS testing to help clients meet complex UK and EU regulatory requirements.

Our state-of-the-art, UK and Netherlands‑based facilities operate to ISO/IEC 17025, UKAS, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and MCERTS standards and follow OECD, SANCO, and MHRA guidance where relevant. We support product development from formulation through environmental fate assessment, offer rapid, legally defensible chemical characterisation for spills and investigations, and deliver accredited food- and contaminant‑testing with a long track record in pesticide and emerging‑contaminant analysis.

Our technical depth and operational reach, including our specialist in‑house chemists, forensic scientists, bespoke sampling teams and a global partner network, enable rapid turnaround, full traceability, and robust data for regulatory submissions, legal cases, and operational decision‑making. Recognised as a Centre of Excellence for PFAS analysis, we use leading methods to detect trace contaminants across complex matrices and tailor solutions that reduce risk, support compliance, and accelerate time to market.
