Solvent Screen
What is a Solvent Screen?
Solvent Screen/Urine sampling is available for a number of solvents including benzene, dichloromethane, ethylbenzene, MEK , MIBK, styrene, trichloroethylene, toluene and xylene.
Where a number of solvents are used, or you are unsure of the specific solvent(s) that require monitoring, a screening may be more appropriate because it can test multiple solvents altogether.
