The Inorganics Division includes a Trace Metals Laboratory and the Conventional Analysis Laboratory: |
Trace Metals Laboratory (3000 square feet) - The Metals Preparation Laboratory (1200 square feet) contains five fume hoods including two 8-foot polypropylene laminar flow fume hoods. An additional eight foot polypropylene laminar flow fume hood is housed in a separate class 1000 clean room. The lab is equipped with tumblers, hot-plates, digestion blocks, facilities for glassware cleaning, and a spectrophotometer for cold vapor analysis of mercury, a TCLP tumbler room, and storage areas.
- The Metals Instrument Laboratory (1300 square feet) features two atomic absorption spectrometers for graphite furnace analysis, two inductively coupled argon plasma spectrometers (ICP) for simultaneous analysis of metals species, and an ICP-mass spectrometer for analysis of metals species at low detection levels.
- A 500 square feet Metals Office provides desk area for Trace Metals laboratory personnel.
The Conventional Analyses (Wet Chemistry) Laboratory (2500 square feet) contains approximately 200 linear feet of bench space, eight fume hoods and includes a separate microbiology room. Instruments in this lab include two Rapid-Flow Analyzers, two TOC analyzers, an ion chromatograph, two uv/visible spectrophotometeres, and various other equipment necessary for the evaluation of inorganic parameters. | |
