The Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory is dedicated to the analysis of trace elements e.g. Ag, As, B including mercury and methyl-mercury in various matrices such as water, biota, sediment, soils, sludge, etc.
The laboratory houses an array of instruments that include: Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP-OES, ICP-MS), Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (CVAAS) and Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (CVAFS). Samples are analyzed directly or digested before analysis according to the methodology applied.
The Inorganic Laboratory has been accredited for (ISO/IEC 17025) by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).
