The Analytical Laboratory provides a wide range of soil, plant and water sample testing procedures to determine quality and potability.  Testing determines the major elements including nutrients.

Ion Chromotography procedures determine the most common anions such as fluoride, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, bromide, phosphate and sulphate.

Using ICP-AES with ultrasonic nebulizer or Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry we can determine more than 40 elements such as Fe, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn, Al, Cr, Mn, Co, Cd, Ba, Ag, Au, Ca, Si and Mg.

Nutrients such as nitrogen (organic, mineral), phosphorus and potassium can also be determined accurately.
