ESB Hosts 105th Anniversary Open House

ESB staff hosted an Open House on Thursday, May 19th in celebration of our company’s 105th year in business. Laboratory personnel provided tours highlighting various analytical methods. Laboratory Technical Director, Larry Chrystal, hosted one of the presentations, demonstrating our new LC/MS/MS used for determining pharmaceuticals and other CECs (constituents of emerging concern) in environmental matrices. Fred Kent, Manager of the Organics Department, spoke about volatile organic compound analysis by GC/MS. Carol Kase, Manager of the Microbiology Department, explained coliform determination by presence/absence and heterotrophic plate counts. Metal detection by ICP and ICPMS, along with organic pollutant load determination using BOD measurements, were also presented. Additionally, clients had a chance to view our newly remodeled project management office space. The reconfigured floor plan creates smoother work flow and facilitates project communication, allowing for improved information sharing and even greater customer satisfaction.

Everyone in attendance enjoyed food and beverage, as well as a chance to network with industry and government leaders. The event offered a great way for staff to talk with clients in more depth about their organization’s needs, experiences and concerns. If you didn’t make it to the event, you missed out!
