Quality Environmental Containers (QEC) isn’t just our name, it’s our promise: it’s what we do; it’s what we sell. It is a mission we take very seriously because we know that the environmental laboratory industry is a universe of absolutes, where quality is never a relative term. Sampling containers and supplies must be absolutely reliable, because every procedure must be absolutely correct; every result absolutely accurate.

QEC was founded in 1994 to provide the environmental laboratory industry with sampling containers that could reliably meet the industry’s rigorous demands of accuracy and accountability. QEC’s product line was designed by environmental scientists specifically for the needs of environmental laboratories. Our containers use only the highest quality materials and components, including borosilicate glass, ultra high-density HDPE plastics, pre-leached low-bleed septa, leak-proof closures and much, much more.

Every container shipped to you follows a strict quality assurance plan through each phase of cleaning, certification, packaging and shipping to arrive worry-free at your facility.

Customer service begins with first contact from one of our trained account professionals.

Working together with you, we determine what your precise needs are– from product specifications, pricing, transportation, or controlling inventory costs– and develop a detailed service plan to meet your unique needs.
