-
AA
(Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry) is excellent for analysis
of metal contaminants in water and soluble compounds. Available at our
Laramie lab.
-
GC
(Gas Chromatography) is used to identify and quantify organic
contamination of drinking water, wastewater, and environmental
samples. Available at both our Rock Springs
and Laramie labs.
-
GC/MS
(Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) is used to identify and
quantify organic contamination of drinking water, wastewater, and
environmental samples. Available at our Laramie
lab.
-
Graphite Furnace
(used in conjunction with AA - Atomic Absorption) is used to determine
trace amounts of inorganic analyte in liquids. Available at our Laramie
lab.
-
XRF
(X-ray fluorescence spectrometry) is extremely useful in determining the major elemental constituents
of materials such as coal ash, fly ash,
cements, lime, limestone and gypsum. Available at our Denver
Division.
-
ICP-OES
(Inductively Coupled (Argon)/Optical Emission Spectrophotometry)
is used to measure inorganic analytes in liquid by their characteristic
emission wavelength. Available at our Laramie
lab.
-
IC (Ion Chromatography)
is used to measure a variety of anions in water including chloride,
fluoride, nitrate and cyanide. Available at our Laramie
lab.
-
rf and DC source GDMS
(Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry) analyzes for elemental
composition. rf-source GDMS is used for non-conducting samples.
DC-source is used for conducting samples such as high purity metals and
semi-conductors. Available at the Denver
Division.
-
Calorimeter (Automated
Iso-parable) is used to determine the calorific value of coal and
other fuel sources. Available at our Laramie
lab.
-
Sulfur Analyzer (SC-132
High Temperature Infra-red) used to determine the sulfur content
in coal and other fuel sources. Available at our Laramie
lab.
-
CHN Analyzer (CHN-600
High Temperature Infra-red) used to determine the % carbon,
hydrogen and nitrogen content in coal and other fuel sources. Available at
our Laramie lab.
