Committed to remaining in the forefront of scientific technology, the Centurion-based laboratory is equipped with the latest in analytical instrumentation to yield accurate, reliable and verifiable results consistently. UIS Organic Laboratory uses specialized instrumentation (SPME GC-MS/MS , GC-MS, GC-ECD,HPLC and GC-FID) for the detection of trace organic contamination
We specialize in petroleum contamination, and offer a state
of the art organic laboratory that specializes in petroleum
and waste analyses to local and international standards
WELCOME TO
UIS ORGANIC LABORATORY
“Our goal at UIS Organic Laboratory is to be a leading Organic and Environmental laboratory. We are committed to providing our clients with a personalized, analytical laboratory testing service, so that they can interact with us, and build their confidence in our results, and also help them to protect the environment by employing various high-end international EPA and in-house developed methodologies.”
TESTING CAPABILITIES
PCB Analysis
UIS Organic laboratory uses GC-MS/MS for the analysis of PCBs. GC-MS/MS filters out unwanted noise normally created from the sample matrix. GC-MS/MS generates more qualifiers ions than conventional systems with a higher level of confidence. This results in cleaner spectrums. Using MSMS results in more accurate identification and quantification of analyses.
Geosmin & 2-MIB
Geosmin and 2-MIB remain poorly understood throughout much of the water industry, and misconceptions which impede the prediction, treatment, and control of these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) persist. UIS Organic laboratory performs this analysis on a Bruker/Varian 450GC 300MS triple quadruple using solid phase microextraction (SPME)
TPH C10-C40
UIS Organic Laboratory offers an in-house developed C10-C40 TPH test. Using certified diesel and motor oil standards, this method enables us to determine the total hydrocarbon concentration over the diesel/oil range. This method enables us to determine the total hydrocarbon concentration (TPH C10-C40) in the diesel and motor oil ranges. Different methods of extraction are used for soil and water samples.
Waste Act Sample Analysis
UIS Organic Laboratory can extract and analyze samples in accordance with the National Environmental Management Waste act (Act No 59 of 2008). All organic analysis is done in-house and some of the Inorganic analysis is outsourced. All Organic compounds are analysed in-house while inorganic analyses are outsourced to select partners.
Phenols in Drinking Water
UIS Organic Laboratory has developed a method for the extraction and analysis of phenols in drinking water using Solid Phase Micro-extraction (SPME) and GC/MS. The major advantages of this method include that it only requires a small sample volume (< 10 ml) and no tedious sample preparation is necessary.
Pesticide Analysis in Food & the Environment
UIS Organic Laboratory envisage to assist government regulators, policy makers, farmers, NGOs, developmental and environmental organisations, trade unions, consumers, journalists and the public to help solve pesticide problems, by offering a pesticide analysis service.
