About Us

MISSION STATEMENT: At CONSCI, we pledge to provide distinctive quality and unparalleled customer service as we strive to gain the respect and trust of our customers, suppliers, and partner vendors.

Consolidated Sciences has been a leading provider of independent specialty gas testing services since 1988, and although we specialize in not-so-routine analyses, we have almost three decades of experience in everything from advanced R&D project consulting to routine quality tests. Our 16,000 ft2 state-of-the-art analytical laboratory in Pasadena, TX, is home to everything from FTIRs to the high-tech ICP-MS and ICP-QQQ, as well as trained chemists, material scientists, technicians, and laboratory management with decades of industry knowledge and experience.

In 2011 founder and CEO, William Geiger co-edited Trace Analysis of Specialty and Electronic Gases with Mark Raynor of Matheson. Trace Analysis of Specialty and Electronic Gases draws together all the latest advances in analytical chemistry, providing researchers with both the theory and the operating principles of the full spectrum of instrumental techniques available for specialty and electronic gas analysis. Moreover, the book details the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, steering readers away from common pitfalls. Get your copy today from Wiley or Amazon.

Senior Staff & Officers

William Geiger

Senior Partner
Bill Geiger

Bill founded Consolidated Sciences way back in 1988. Since then he’s literally written the book on Trace Analysis of Specialty and Electronics Gases.

 

Blake McElmurry, PhD

Senior Scientist
Blake McElmurry

Blake joined Consolidated Sciences in November of 2014 to develop methods of analysis for pure and mixed gas types using ICP-QQQ, ICP-MS, GC-MS, and FTIR. He also designs software to enhance automated FTIR quantitation and sample introduction.

 

Jesus Anguiano

Senior Scientist
Jesus Anguiano

Jesus can usually be seen presenting state-of-the-art research at conferences such as PITTCON and the Gulf Coast Conference. In addition, he co-authored "Appendix A: Materials of Construction" in Trace Analysis of Specialty and Electronics Gases.
