After 47 years as a family-owned small business, the founding owners of Maine Environmental Laboratory have decided to retire.  We are happy to announce that we found a new home with Eurofins Environment Testing Northeast LLC, the regional division of the global Eurofins laboratory network.

Eurofins will be operating out of the MEL laboratory at 1 Main Street in Yarmouth over the summer and plans to move into new space in Portland in the fall.  Our lab director Jackie and project managers Carolyn and Liza will still be picking up the phone by the third ring and helping clients do everything we always have. Microbiology analyses will still be run in-house and other sample methods will be couriered daily to Eurofins/Eastern Analytical lab in Concord, NH and beyond.

We are confident that Eurofins will uphold the same values of integrity, quality, and personalized service that you have come to expect from MEL.  We also look forward to offering our clients the benefits only a bigger lab can offer, such as advanced reporting capabilities and faster turn-around times.

We want to sincerely thank you for your trust, loyalty, and support for MEL over the years and we hope you will keep working with us at Eurofins.  Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions during this transition. We are committed to making it as smooth and seamless as possible.

Best wishes,

The Crew at MEL
