服务

的 Analytical Sciences Laboratory (ASL) offers over 200 different tests 和 analyzes nearly 20,000 samples per year for a broad spectrum of target compounds in a wide variety of matrices.

ASL uses analytical methods developed by 环境保护署, 采用AOAC公认的, 美国自来水厂协会(AWWA)认可APHA /, 食品及药物管理局, American Society of Agronomy Methods of 土壤分析, Western Region Reference Methods, 和 other organizations that establish, corroborate 和 approve analytical procedures. Some methods have been developed within ASL 和 are validated to ensure they meet appropriate recovery, accuracy 和 precision st和ards for a wide variety of matrices. In general, these methods have been published 和 subjected to peer review.

Supporting the activities of university scientists, 扩展, 兽医, as well as state 和 regional agencies, ASL has five analytical services: 水的质量, 土壤化学 和 物理 Analyses, 植物化学物质 Analyses, Environmental Monitoring 和 Veterinary Diagnostic Toxicology.

水的质量 testing includes methods in the 环境保护署 100, 200, 300, 500 和 8000 series, among others. 除了, our advanced instrumentation 和 senior scientists allow ASL to develop 和 validate analytical methods in support of many unique research projects.

的 土壤分析 lab processes approximately 2,500 samples each year in support of university research 和 soil fertility testing for homeowners. ASL also offers soil testing for compliance with NRCS Nutrient Management Planning.

ASL provides a broad range of analytical services in the area of 工厂分析, including pesticide residues, macro- 和 micronutrient composition, 和 heavy metal analysis.

的 Environmental Monitoring Service performs a full range of regulatory 和 research grade methods of analysis for heavy metals, trace hazardous chemicals 和 pesticides in a great variety of matrices. Among its testing procedures, the laboratory offers a full complement of the 环境保护署 SW-846 hazardous waste analytical method series.

的 Veterinary Diagnostic Toxicology Service is the primary toxicology laboratory for Idaho 和 Washington. A full range of veterinary toxicology tests are provided to 兽医, 野生动物工作者, law enforcement agencies 和 university researchers. 的 clinical history 和 test results are reviewed at ASL by a consulting DVM/Ph.D. veterinary toxicologist for diagnostic interpretation. Over 100 veterinary diagnostic toxicology cases per month are h和led at ASL.

的 laboratory has provided project support 和 method development for Idaho agencies such as the Department of Environmental Quality (描述), Department of Agriculture (ISDA), Department of Fish 和 Game (IDFG) 和 for the 库特奈部落. 的 laboratory has also conducted studies for registration of minor use pesticides under full Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs, 40 CFR Part 160) for the 美国农业部/ 环境保护署, IR-4 (Interregional 研究 Project No.4).

ASL has analytical expertise in areas as diverse as site restoration, environmental monitoring 和 risk assessment, involving projects such as:

• pesticides in groundwater
• selenium risk assessment
• heavy metals in indicator species
• chlorophyll monitoring in river fertilization studies
• bioactive compounds 和 antioxidants in fruits
