KETOS, a San Francisco, Calif.-based automated water testing company, announced its Environmental Lab Platform (KELP), its new in-house Environmental Lab testing services for residential, commercial and agricultural clients, April 23. The testing services, which will be conducted from the company’s California facility, are designed to provide comprehensive insights into the quality of manually drawn water samples.
“KETOS’ mission has always been to empower the community with access to safe water and provide innovative solutions that simplify water quality testing, increase visibility and improve operational efficiency,” Meena Sankaran, founder of KETOS, said in a news release.
“With our new Environmental Lab testing services, we are expanding our offering to give users real-time visibility and actionable intelligence on water quality, helping businesses, municipalities, and homeowners protect one of our most precious resources.”
In Phase I, KETOS will offer non-compliance reporting services integrated with its advanced software platform and AI-driven insights. This service will be available starting May 2025. Customers will be able to submit their water samples for testing, receive reports and online data access, and gain actionable insights through KETOS’ proprietary technology.
KETOS is addressing widespread concerns with PFAS testing as part of its Environmental Lab services. Currently, testing cycles for PFAS can take up to 45 days. KETOS’ streamlined approach aims to reduce turnaround times significantly, providing quicker insights and better support for environmental compliance.
Phase II of the offering will include full compliance reporting, allowing for even more robust and regulatory-compliant testing solutions. Clients can access a comprehensive list of testable water constituents on the KETOS website, making it easy to choose and purchase testing packages tailored to their needs.
The introduction of KELP will offer both existing and new customers a unified view of their water quality data across all touchpoints, eliminating the need for fragmented reporting methods such as PDFs, spreadsheets, and outdated lab systems. In addition to lab testing, KETOS continues to lead the way with its automated onsite robotics and AI solutions, which have become vital for the industrial, agricultural, and municipal sectors.
