The Florida-Spectrum business philosophy is centered on the relationship we build with our clients. Good communication leads to trusted partnerships, which in turn leads to successful project management. Facilitation of that relationship and communication are enhanced by the assignment of a Client Service Manager...your representative inside the lab charged with managing all projects from start to finish. The result is a data package that is on time, reliable and in the desired format... complete client satisfaction!

We form partnerships with our clients and become a technical branch of their internal organizations. Our Customer Service Management Team is staffed with knowledgeable chemists who know the methods and are experienced in answering the types of questions that arise when dealing with environmental projects.
