At the same time when the samples arrive at the laboratory, specialized staff proceeds to its reception and distribution to each section or laboratory, starting the analysis of the sample according to the most convenient methodology for each case.

The whole LABAQUAs network has the necessary technical means and staff to give an answer to the analytical necessities, coordinating efforts one with another to offer at any time and place a homogenous answer.

The suitable conservation and manipulation of the samples, the determination techniques or methods, the availability of means and equipment, the low detection limits, the reduced analytical determination deadlines and the working ability, are values shared in all our delegations.

Chromatography Section

Section specialized in analysis of organic micro polluting agents (pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds), radioactivity and ions by high performance liquid chromatography. [Read More…]

Spectrophotometry Section

The spectrophotometry section includes the areas of spectrophotometry, colorimetries and volumetries. All the techniques have been validated with respect to certified reference materials and interlaboratory exercises. [Read More…]

Waste Section

This is the section where specific techniques are used to determine the pollution contained in each sample (in addition to the determination of classic pollution parameters such as the D.Q.O. or the D.B.O.5, more specific tests like the toxicity tests with Photobacterium phosphoreum are done). [Read More…]

Microbiology Section

Here we analyse all the microbiological parameters in samples of water, air, soils, sludges and surfaces that are included in the present Spanish legislation, and generally all those microorganisms of hydric transmission that can be pathogenic for human beings are determined. The key task of this section is to offer a fast analytical quality service in the study of the samples. [Read More…]
