Laboratory
Accredited laboratory at Center of Analytical Chemistry
Experienced staff and modern infrastructure
The accredited tests are carried out by 3 specialized laboratories:
- Laboratory of Classical Analyses
- Laboratory of Atomic Spectrometry
- Laboratory of Emission Spectrometry and Chromatography
Product testing for compliance with the RoHS directive 2011/65/EU
We test products under compliance with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EC, which limits the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
The Center of Analytical Chemistry carries out product tests (initial classification and quantitative determination of the content of the above-mentioned hazardous substances) using highly specialized measuring equipment; X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (XRF), atomic absorption spectrometers, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometers, UV/VIS spectrophotometers, gas and liquid chromatographs.
