- We are specialised in techniques:
- ICP-MS - Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
- ICP-EOS - Optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasmas
- IC - Ion chromatography
- GC-MS - Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry
- GC-FID - Gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection
Mineralisation of solid samples (microwave reactor, melter), grinding, extraction (shaker, ultrasonic bath).
The laboratory focuses on non-standard analyses that require experience and a new approach to the problem.
- We are open to any form of cooperation:
- Developing new analytical procedures; research projects.
The laboratory has implemented a quality management system in accordance with ISO 17025: 2018, which is confirmed by the certificate AB 950 issued by the PCA.
Sample Acceptance Procedure:
Samples for testing are delivered to the Laboratory in accordance with the contract or price offer as long-term or one-time orders. For each sample collection, a completed Sample Acceptance Form PO13/FO3 is required. In cases where the sample is not delivered to the Laboratory personally by the Client, the PO13/FO3 form should be delivered together with the samples. The form is available in the download section.
