The workgroup 'Element Analysis and Applied Sepctroscopy' deals with three research topics

 

  • development of new analytical techniques for element and trace element analysis
  • investigation of problems in environmental and material sciences
  • development of automated sample preparation systems

Topics in the development of new analytical techniques for element and trace element analysis are

sample digestion, element concentration and matrix separation with focus on microwave techniques,

  • hyphenated methods with CSAAS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS with focus on high performance sample introduction systems,
  • fundamental studies in atomic spectrometry and ICP-MS.

 

Contract Analysis

The laboratory for contract analysis is a high tech lab for element analysis of organic and inorganic sample materials with state of the art equipment like microwave assisted sample preparation, CSAAS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, RFA and IC.
