Chemical and Microbiological Analysis
Comprehensive Chemical & Microbiological Testing
INTRODUCTION
Multi-Disciplinary Laboratory Services
At Lonestar Alpha, we operate a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary laboratory offering a wide range of chemical and microbiological testing services. Our facility is purpose-built to support industrial operations, construction projects, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance across Oman and GCC.
We test water, soil, construction materials, metals, oil, and environmental matrices delivering results that meet globally recognized standards including BS, ASTM, ISO, APHA, USEPA and OSHA.
Our Expertise
Tailored testing solutions across sectors, ensuring precision, reliability, and full regulatory alignment.
Water Testing
We analyze all water types drinking, distilled, RO, wastewater, borewell, irrigation, boiler, and outfall covering physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. Our methods comply with WHO, USEPA, APHA and regional standards to ensure safety and performance.
Soil Analysis
- Construction: Geotechnical assessments (BS 1377) for pH, sulphate, chloride, organic matter, gypsum etc.
- Agriculture: Fertility and salinity evaluations (USDA Handbook 60) to support sustainable farming practices.
Construction Materials Testing
Chemical analysis of concrete, aggregates, and cement using BS 1881, BS 812, BS 1744 and ASTM standards ensuring structural integrity and compliance.
Deposits, Sediments, Scale & Sludge Analysis
Detailed profiling of industrial residues to troubleshoot operational issues, optimize performance, and prevent equipment failures.
Environmental Monitoring
We deliver full-spectrum environmental assessments to support workplace safety and regulatory compliance:
- Stack Emissions: Flue gas, particulate matter, and gaseous pollutants
- Ambient Air Quality: PM, SO₂, NOx, CO, O₃, and more
- Noise Monitoring: Occupational and environmental
- Indoor Air & Humidity: Workplace health evaluations
Contaminant Analysis
We detect and quantify pollutants in soil and water for risk assessment and remediation planning:
- Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
- Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
- Heavy Metals
Metals & Alloys Testing
Purity and composition analysis for steel, aluminum, magnesium, and iron ingots using wet chemistry and ICP-OES—ensuring material verification and quality assurance.
Oil & Lubricant Testing
Our Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) covers compressors, lubricating, transformer, chiller, and used oils. We assess:
- Viscosity
- Flash Point
- Acidity
- Water Content
- Contamination
- Wear Metals and more.
These insights help extend equipment life and reduce downtime.
Bitumen Testing
We offer comprehensive analysis of bitumen, tack coat, and prime coat in accordance with MOTC, ASTM, and AASHTO standards. Our testing covers:
- Distillation
- Penetration
- Softening Point
- Ductility
- Viscosity
- Flash Point
- Specific Gravity
- Solubility
- Water Content
- Residue Characteristics
We handle all grades of bitumen and cutbacks, ensuring product quality and project compliance.
