Wet Lab
The wet chemistry lab is equipped with a high-speed centrifuge (Beckman Coulter Avanti J-26S), automatic titrators, a sonication bath, vacuum pumps, a waste-neutralization unit and other lab items necessary for mineral synthesis, potentiometric and redox titrations, sorption and electrocoagulation experiments. Here we also handle field water and sediment samples.
Microbiology Lab
This laboratory is designed for all microbiology-related work, as well the preparation of aqueous solutions and mineral suspensions. This lab includes a laminar flow hood, a large capacity incubator shaker, an incubator/oven, analytical balances, end-over-end shakers, pH-meters, etc.
