MSE Analytical Laboratory is your source for high quality laboratory services. Originally established in 1978, the MSE Lab is a certified, full-service commercial laboratory in Butte, Montana, that performs analyses for a variety of public and private clients. Our location and experience allows us to offer clients specific, direct, and defensible services. Located adjacent to the Silver Bow Creek/Butte Area National Priorities List (NPL) site provides us with a familiarity with local Superfund activities and regulations.

Because of our location and experience, much of our work involves analyses related to the evaluation and remediation of Superfund sites. Consequently, we have equipped our laboratory with state of the art instrumentation and equipment suited to the analysis of water, solid waste, soils, limes, composts, metals, inorganic metals, and non-metals. Rigorous quality assurance programs to ensure defensible results encompass everything we do. We also offer services to meet virtually any state or federal regulatory requirement.
