Specific Analytical Techniques 
and Analysis Methods Used 

  • 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.

A variety of large and small scale sample preparation 
equipment is in use at all three of our locations
