Testimonials
Dear Centek Laboratories,
I wanted to thank you for introducing Centek Laboratories to our company. We receive many requests to test the indoor air because of odors when the clients believed it was due to mold growth. Many times there are multitudes of odors that your services are beneficial to us in determining the possible sources, other than mold growth.
We pride ourselves on doing what’s right for the client. Once you explained and educated us on your VOC testing methods and how it could identify many of our client’s concerns, your services became extremely valuable, by increasing the quality of service our clients deserve.
Your customer service is something to be proud of; every time we call with questions, your team is there with answers.
Thank you once again for your commitment to excellence.
Respectfully,
Vinny Gigliotti (CIE, CMR, CEI, CEM, CES, CTS)

Dear Centek Labs,
I just wanted to express our thanks for a job well done on a recent project requiring analysis by TO-14a and TO-15 for 29 air samples from a NY WWTF.
From arranging for the analysis to delivering the canisters and providing the results on time, to even ahead of time as promised. Centek did a highly professional job.
A special thanks to your technical support team for providing some quick-connect hardware that streamlined our sampling procedures with the canisters and for keeping in communication during analysis concerning high concentration levels of a surrogate compound we used for the study.
We enjoyed working with your staff and will look forward to using Centek in future projects.
Regards,
Robert Kricks, Ph.D.

Dear Centek Laboratories,
I wanted to extend a great appreciation for your client service staff, especially to Russ Pellegrino. I work in Client Services myself at a testing lab, and understand both being a client, as well as being the service provider.
Great customer service is hard to come by, and I feel like I was provided just that today when I called your lab and spoke to Russ. He was very helpful and understanding of my testing needs, which are actually the needs of my client. He was able to sympathize with my situation and provided me with something that worked both for myself and for my client. He could have easily told me that there was nothing he could do for me, but he went above and beyond to try and find a resolution that I would be satisfied with.
I just wanted to pass along my appreciation for your company, as well as for your employees. You often only hear the negatives from clients, and I wanted to make sure that positive feedback was recognized.
