Analytical testing laboratory network across North America with 40+ specialized labs
AGAT Laboratories operates a distributed network of over 40 specialized testing facilities serving environmental, industrial, energy, metals, life sciences, and agri-food sectors. The tech stack reveals a traditional lab-operations profile: LIMS for sample management, ICP-OES/ICP-MS/LC-MS/MS for chemistry instrumentation, Oracle/SQL for data persistence, and Power BI for reporting. Hiring skews heavily toward research (33 roles) and sales (17), with junior-level velocity accelerating, signaling capacity expansion rather than organizational restructuring.
