The General Chemistry laboratories are involved in analyzing different parameters in water (pore water and seawater), marine sediment, and soil. The Laboratories are well equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, e.g., Auto-analyzer, Discrete analyzer, and a UV/VIS Spectrometer. The General chemistry team also undertakes in-situ water analyses, i.e., pH, temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids and a broad range of conditions using the multi-parameter instrument. Laboratory is-situ analysis is equally carried out and include total suspended solids, Chlorophyll-a, Phosphate, Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, Urea, Silicate, Sulfate, Hardness, Chlorine, Chlorides, among others.
The laboratory has five methods that are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).
