About Empiria Labs

At EMPIRIA LABS, LLC, we specialize in providing comprehensive analytical testing services for the fruits and vegetables industry. As the largest lab in the Rio Grande Valley, we are able to offer faster turnaround times, lower costs, and reduced emissions—helping our clients save time and money while also contributing to a more sustainable operation. Our advanced technology and expert team ensure accurate results, assisting growers, distributors, and retailers in meeting regulatory standards and delivering safe, high-quality produce. Our procedures incorporate cutting-edge techniques such as Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE-350), QuEChERS extraction, and Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) before conducting specific analytical assessments for which we utilize advanced high-resolution technology instrumentation, including LC/MSMS, GC/MSMS, and ICP/MS, to accurately determine multi-residue pesticides (organochlorine, phosphorous pesticides, carbamates, dithiocarbamates) and heavy metals in food, particularly in fruits and vegetables. Our laboratory adheres strictly to validated methods and procedures, including those from FDA, USDA, AOAC, EPA, USP, and other protocols developed either by our clients or by our scientific experts.
