Founded in 1922 Associated Laboratories provided analytical services to the Citrus Growers Association of Orange County; by 1924, the firm was serving all of the local agricultural community. The lab was performing analysis of water, soil, and fertilizers. This led by degrees into work for golf courses, cemeteries, parks; Forest Lawn and Disneyland among its clients. We developed an out of a tool box, packaged chemical color charts and test tubes, field testing kit that still is used today.

In 1969 the lab was sold to California Corporate Group that owns them today; its officers are Dr. Tito Parola, Dr. Edward Behare and Robert Webber. The 3500-square-foot lab was known as the referee in international trade. Sealed samples from bulk shipments were sent to the Orange address for certification as to purity before bills of exchange were cashed. From its humble beginnings, the laboratory has grown to include two facilities totaling 20,000 square feet, filled with state-of-the-art equipment and serving clients throughout the world.

Capabilities include: Chemistry/Spectroscopy, Chromatography, GC/MS, Microbiology, Biological Toxicity, Organic Preparation and Inorganic Preparation. Recently, we have added new equipment for performing Trace level Hexavalent Chromium, TO15 including Total Hydrocarbons, BTEX, oxygenates and fixed gases.
