The History of MPL Laboratories

For more than 30 years, we have set the bar for clients requiring environmental contamination testing. Combining science with the technology and a passion for delivering optimal laboratory testing services, we break through barriers to help our clients receive fast turnaround times or TATs and quality results

1980s

Our Beginning

With origins in Perth, capital of Western Australia, MPL Laboratories was founded in the 1980s

2008

Reaching TOA New Height

In February 2008, MPL was the first laboratory in Australia to gain NATA accreditation for the analysis of diesel particulates, as elemental carbon by the thermal optical analysis (TOA) method in accordance with NIOSH 5040. This falls under NATA Chemical Testing Class 7.82, Workplace environment and hazards, sub-class .22 for Diesel particulates.

2010

Growing as part Envirolab Group

MPL Laboratories continued to grow as a business. The business expanded its geographic footprint and professional laboratory testing services by becoming part of the Envirolab Group.

Improved internal efficiencies during the year resulted in a significant reduction of our TATs from weeks at the start of the year to a consistent rate of 5 working days across the bulk of our analyses. This resulted in improved laboratory quality management as well as ensuring client satisfaction.
