Verification laboratory for the analysis of chemical warfare agent samples
- Verification laboratory
We operate an internationally recognised verification laboratory for the analysis of samples for the presence of chemical warfare agents - OPCW-designated laboratory
We support the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as reference laboratory in the verification of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) - Samples from all over the world
For international organisations, samples from all over the world are analysed in our laboratory - Sample preparation
State-of-the-art equipment and up-to-date procedures allow us to prepare all types of samples and to isolate smallest traces of chemical warfare agents. - Instrumental analysis
With a combination of chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, we identify chemical warfare agents as well as their precursors and degradation products
