The Hydrogeology Laboratory of Patras University owns an advanced series of analytical equipment which has been used in national an european research programs. You can find more information about our equipment in the tab Equipment"
With 10 years of active research the laboratory can deliver high quality services within the scientific community of our country regarding the fields of chemical analyses, surface and underground water, as well as the ground samples, rock and other environmental meterial. Thus it is able to deliver advanced services not only in the brad field of chemical analyses, micronutrients and heavy metals, but also in the specification of hydrogen isotopes (D) and oxygen (18O).
Its goal is to contribute to the scientific research, the knowledge and the quality of environment.
The Hydrogeology Laboratory is able to execute with very low cost for educational institutions and individuals the following analyses for water, sediment and rock specimens:
Chemical Analyses
Elements Analyses
- Group Α: Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Ga, Li, Mn, Pb, Rb, Sr, V, U, Zn, Se, Ni, Fe with ICP-MS method. Ryton nebulizer.
- Group Β: B, Ge, Mo, Re, Ti, W, Zr with ICP-MS. Ryton nebulizer method.
- Group C1: (Ryton nebulizer) Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Lu, Nd, Pr, Sm, Sc, Tb, Th, Tm, Y, Yb (rare earth) with ICP-MS method.
- Group C2: (Ultrasonic nebulizer) Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Lu, Nd, Pr, Sm, Sc, Tb, Th, Tm, Y, Yb (rare earth) with ICP-MS method.
- Group D: Analyses of Na, K, Mg, Ca.
- Group E: Isotopic analyses D and 18O in water specimens.
The speciments can also be liquified.
Results delivery time: for all the aforementioned analyses and for 100 specimens the results are ready within 15 days from the time they arrive in the Laboratory.
