The Chemistry laboratory has recently undergone a major refit and upgrade of analytical capability.

 

The chemistry lab now offers the following tests on site:

 

On Fish and Food Products

  • Antibiotic Screening
  • Emamectin
  • Fat
  • Moisture
  • Pigment Testing
  • Water Activity

 

Shellfish

  • DSP (Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning) ELISA screen
  • ASP (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) ELISA screen
  • PSP (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) ELISA screen

 

Potable, Natural & Waste Water

  • Ammonium / Ammonia
  • Biological Oxygen Demand
  • Chemical Oxygen Demand
  • Conductivity
  • Free Chlorine
  • Dissolved Available Inorganic Nitrogen Nitrate
  • Nitrite
  • Phosphate
  • pH
  • Salinity
  • Total Supsended Solids

 

Sediments & Environmental

  • Emamectin
  • Organic Carbon

 

Other tests can be carried out by prior arrangement

 

A Contract Research & Development facility is available for development projects and one-off problem solving.
