A competent and reliable source for your gas quality analytical needs

Utilizing gas chromatography with both flame ionization and thermal conductivity detectors, our Laboratory analyzes natural gas and hydrocarbon liquids. Eliminate the guess work of trying to identify the source of field combustible reads by utilizing our atmospheric testing services. In addition, analysis can be conducted for private well water samples to determine the presence of natural gas for storage field integrity programs. 

Our field technicians are trained to properly collect natural gas samples. We also perform on-site analysis for mercaptan, water and hydrogen sulfide content. MichCon Laboratory Services is committed to providing the highest quality of natural gas analytical services compliant with leading industry standards such as GPA, API, and ASTM.
