Sartorius Helps to Protect What Matters Most

Compliance, Public Health, and Early Detection of Environmental Risks

Comprehensive Environmental Testing 

Water, Soil, Air & Emerging Contaminants

In today’s industrial and urban landscape, environmental contamination can affect water, soil, and air, in sometimes unexpected ways. 

At Sartorius, we provide advanced filtration products, analytical instrumentation, and testing solutions that help you detect, quantify, and monitor contaminants across all major environmental media. 

Whether you’re working in regulatory compliance, remediation, research, or sustainability, we deliver the reliability, accuracy, and regulatory compliance you need.

Water Testing

Water systems face increasing pressure from pollutants such as microbes, heavy metals, PFAS, and chemical runoff. Sartorius solutions support accurate detection, quantification, and monitoring to ensure compliance and protect public health.

Soil and Sediment Testing

Soil and sediments accumulate persistent contaminants—from metals to organics—that impact agriculture, development, and ecosystems. Our filtration, moisture analysis, and sample-prep tools deliver reliable results for remediation and regulatory decisions.

Air Monitoring

Airborne particulates and emissions can transport toxic substances across industrial and environmental settings. Sartorius filter-weighing and analytical solutions enable precise particulate measurement and regulatory-ready reporting.

Emerging Contaminants

PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and other emerging pollutants evade traditional testing and persist in the environment. Our advanced sample-prep and analytical workflows help labs detect trace contaminants across water, soil, and air with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Environmental testing typically focuses on water, soil, air, and emerging contaminants. These areas help determine pollutant levels, assess environmental impact, and support regulatory compliance.

Water testing identifies microbial, chemical, and trace contaminants that may affect drinking water, wastewater, surface water, or groundwater. It ensures safety, supports risk assessment, and helps meet regulatory standards.

Soil and sediment may contain heavy metals, pesticides, hydrocarbons, and persistent organic pollutants. Testing helps guide land use decisions, remediation, and long-term environmental monitoring.

Air quality is typically evaluated by measuring particulates and airborne contaminants using filter-based sampling and gravimetric analysis. These results support environmental compliance and industrial emissions monitoring.

Emerging contaminants such as PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and personal-care product residues are pollutants that may not yet be fully regulated. They often persist in the environment and require advanced detection methods.

They occur at extremely low concentrations and often resist traditional treatment or detection methods. Specialized filtration, sample prep, and high-sensitivity analytical techniques are needed for accurate results.

Sartorius provides filtration, analytical, weighing, moisture analysis, liquid handling, and lab water solutions that enable accurate, reproducible workflows across water, soil, air, and emerging contaminant testing.

Yes. Sartorius solutions are designed to support compliance with key environmental regulations, including standards for drinking water, wastewater, air particulates, and contaminant monitoring.

Environmental labs, wastewater facilities, government agencies, industrial operations, agriculture, remediation firms, and research institutions rely on these workflows to monitor environmental health and ensure compliance.

Start by identifying the matrix you test—water, soil, air, or emerging contaminants. Sartorius experts can help match the appropriate filtration, analysis, and sample-prep tools to your regulatory requirements and throughput needs.
