LEC's inorganic nutrients laboratory, otherwise known as the CSWM laboratory, has recently achieved high acclaim for its compliance with the Defra Joint Code of Practice.
Dr Paddy Keenan was congratulated for his part in running a tight ship without any noted non-compliance with the code.
Open since November 1st 2005, the laboratory is an exemplar of cross University - CEH collaboration and is based in the CEH building. The lab services nutrient analytical needs across LEC and serves as a point of contact between LEC University groups and CEH. Among many facilities on offer are;
- SEAL Analytical AQ2 - Discrete analyser for a broad range of wet chemistries
- Analytical Sciences Thermalox - Total carbon and nitrogen analyser for use with aqueous samples
- Dionex ICS2500 - General cation and anion analyses
- Gilden Photonics FluoroSENS fluorimeter - Highly sensitive single photon counting instrument
The lab has further enhanced its reputation by successfully completing the latest Aquacheck proficiency testing round for its most commonly used methods.
