currently conducting testing of environmental samples for teaching and
research purposes, in the following areas:
-
Microbial testing for
specific pathogen indicators including total coliform, E. coli,
and Enterococcus
-
Total organic carbon
analysis with total nitrogen module, autosampler, and sediment sampling
add-ons
-
Chemical oxygen
demand (COD) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
-
Specific ion probes
for nitrate, ammonia, fluoride, and sodium
-
Environmentally-relevant organics including endocrine-disrupting
compounds, antibiotics, hormones, and pharmaceutically-active
substances, and also for characterizing treatment byproducts
-
Specific contaminants
using diode-array spectrophotometry
-
Gravimetric analysis
-
Photochemical testing
with a custom-built 550W ultraviolet source
-
Aquatic
water quality parameters using portable field testing meters
-
Two-person research
vessel "RV Minnow"
Lab.EES is
developing the capability to conduct testing in the following areas, in
the near future:
-
Trace metal analysis, including 16
different elements, using the Perkin Elmer 3100 AAS with HGA-600 graphite
furnace and AS-60 autosampler and ICP-AS
-
