Welcome to new researchers

The EWRE section is continuing to strengthen its analytical capabilities by the recent purchase of a Perkin Elmer Clarus 500 Gas Chromatography system .  This state-of-the-art GC is fitted with touch-screen controls, twin detectors (ECD and FID) and has full electronic pressure control interfaced to Perkin Elmer's TotalChrom chromatography control and data-handling software via a PC.  It is one of the most advanced GC systems available. This equipment was bought for work on a new EPSRC funded project concerned with the fate of Halogenated compounds in water treatment.

We have recently taken delivery of a new Atomic Absorption system, A Perkin Elmer AA800 combined Flame and Graphite Furnace system .  This state of the Art analytical equipment will greatly enhance our analytical capability by increasing the sample throughput and with enhanced analytical sensitivity.
