Southeastern Louisiana University Microbiology Testing Laboratory (SLUMTL) is a non-profit
laboratory created to serve the Southeastern community, while actively pursuing scientific
research in applied environmental microbiology.
SLUMTL has worked on projects examining storm water runoff, water quality monitoring,
microbial source tracking (MST), nutrient cycling, enhanced coal bed methane production
using microbial consortia, fecal indicator re-growth, and assessment of new biological
indicator organisms.
This laboratory is under the supervision of Dr. Gary W. Childers and has a full time
staff trained in laboratory and field analysis. Prices for field analysis and collection/transport
as well as for other microbial and chemical consulting are available by quote. Samples
for permits may be delivered by qualified operators using our chain of custody procedure,
or samples may be picked up by our trained staff. Official reports will be prepared
in 14 days and reported in a letter with QA/QC values. Unofficial reports can be made
available more rapidly to customers by email upon completion of the analysis.
