The high-quality analyses you demand call for reliable, state-of-the-art tools. MWH Laboratories routinely spends up to $500,000 a year on new lab equipment, and maintains backups of key equipment to handle your large projects without missing holding times.
Our equipment includes:
-
More than 10 GCMS systems, including multiple ultra-high sensitivity Finnigan Trace, Polaris Q, Agilent 5973, and Varian Saturn Quadrupoles and ion-traps. Four systems are equipped with Chemical Ionization/MS/MS capabilities for better sensitivity to trace contaminants such as NDMA and taste and odor compounds
-
One Waters Ultima LC-MS-MS system with ESI+, ESI-, and APCI detection for analysis of pharmaceuticals and personal care products and ultra trace levels of perchlorate
-
More than 20 gas chromatography systems (Varian and Agilent) with multiple detectors, to analyze pesticides, herbicides and disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and ensure high capacity for the IDSE
-
Six Dionex ion chromatographs, several with both conductivity and UV-VIS detectors, to analyze anions, perchlorate, inorganic DBPs, and low level bromate and hexavalent chromium. Several systems are configured to achieve sub-ppb sensitivity for perchlorate
-
Nine proportional counters and a liquid scintillation counter to provide comprehensive radiochemistry testing (including radon and radium)
-
Two Perkin Elmer ICPMS systems, including one with Dynamic Reaction Cell capabilities; a Perkin Elmer Optima ICP with both axial and radial torch; two mercury analyzers; and a Zeeman atomic absorption unit for comprehensive metals analysis to sub-ppb levels, including trace level arsenic
-
Transmission electron microscope (Hitachi) for drinking water asbestos analysis
-
Multiple microscopes for Giardia and MPA and algae analysis
-
Multiple TOX and TOC analyzers to ensure high capacity for DBP and Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) testing
-
Three flow injection/continuous flow analyzers for low-level, high- capacity nutrient analysis
-
Several automated titrators for high-precision inorganic analysis
