WET CHEMISTRY
  • Comprehensive offering of wet chemistry methods.
  • State of the art automated instrumentation conducive to accurate, rapid, and error free results.
  • Flexibility to set-up for new analytes.
  • Excellent analyte sensitivity, with reporting limits at or below drinking water & effluent RLs for clean matrices.
  • Drinking water, fresh & marine surface & ground water, effluent, storm water run off, waste water, soils, sludge, solids, petroleum liquids, plant & animal tissue, food, wine and other matrices can be tested.
