Truck plows into Delaware company AnalTech, releasing odor that leads to
HazMat situation
It was an unforgettable day at the memorably-named company AnalTech.
At approximately 6:30 a.m. Monday, a car crash involving two pickup trucks
sent one of the vehicles inside the AnalTech building of Newark, Del.,
leaving a giant hole.
The truck damaged the facility's laboratory and caused an odor to emanate
from the cavity, WDEL reports.
Accordingly, first responders alerted the Department of Natural Resources
and Environmental Control, which brought in a HazMat team to handle any
leaks.
Though Environmental Control has yet to uncover exactly what materials were
damaged in the accident, the scene was eventually deemed safe after three
hours.
Two people, one in each truck, were injured with non-life-threatening
injuries.
The incident is still under investigation by Delaware State Police.
While AnalTech, a manufacturer of thin-layer chromatography plates, could
not be reached for comment about the incident, they've been vocal in the
past about the history of its company name.

In an email sent to the Houston Chronicle, a spokesperson revealed, "In 1964
, the company paid a marketing firm to come up with a different name. They
said, 'Well, you guys do Analytical Technology – why don’t you put the two
words together and call it ‘AnalTech!' ”
However, the spokesperson admitted that "AnalTech faces certain challenges
because of the 'juvenile' humor that has developed in the past few decades
and current web filters that may block the company name" and has considered
rebranding as a result. | D***3
