Our lab is equipped with a number instruments that we use to prepare, process, and analyse our samples.

Agilent GC/MS 

Thermo Scientific Dionex ASE 350
Picture
  • our lab is equipped with 3 GC/MS 
  • gas-liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry is used for identification of environmental contaminants 
 Picture
  • automatic extraction of solid and semisolid samples is achieved through elevated solvent temperatures and pressurization.

Turbovap® II Concentration Evaporator 

Organomation Nitrogen Evaporator
Picture
  • samples are prepared for analysis through microprocessor-controlled concentration




 Picture
  • works similar to the Turbovap but for smaller volumes of solvent

Burrell Wrist Action Shaker

Picture
  • used to duplicate the swirling action of hand mixing; our lab has used the shaker to imitate the actions of a clothes washing machine
