About CaSi Lab
We were founded in 1979 with the mission to provide quality analytical testing services.
Consulting Analytical Services International (CaSi) was founded in 1979 with the goal of providing quality analytical testing services to the Springfield, MO metropolitan area. Over the years, our service area has grown to encompass roughly 27 counties in Southwestern Missouri. We specialize in environmental testing, primarily dealing with municipal and industrial wastewater effluents and stormwater outfalls.
We are a customer-focused company where you can count on friendly, professional and personalized service. Our goal is to provide accurate, timely and compliant results. We are locally owned and operated, employing local scientists to analyze sample in our modern laboratory with a 2,200 sq. ft. facility.

About the Laboratory
Our laboratory facilities are segregated into three distinct areas to facilitate workflow and to prevent issues like cross-contamination.
Our wet lab is where samples are prepared and the majority of liquid mixing happens. In here, we might digest samples for elemental analysis or total Kjeldahl nitrogen, or we might perform a titration to determine residual chlorine. Anything done with liquid reagents will be done in this lab.
Our microbiological lab is where samples are evaluated for microbial contamination. In here, we might determine how many E. coli or total coliform bacteria are in a sample using a Quanti-Tray system. Additionally, we might prepare plates to determine the number of fecal coliform colonies or to determine a heterotrophic plate count (HPC).
Our instrument lab is where instrument-based analyses happen. In here, we might determine nitrite or nitrate using an ion chromatograph. Also, we might determine heavy metals like lead and arsenic using an atomic emission spectrometer.
