Laboratory Description

The laboratory specializes in conducting physicochemical analyses within the framework of scientific projects of the National Center “CMRP” RK, as well as under contracts with external organizations.
The main focus is on engineering instrumentation, improvement of analytical methods, and the development of new devices for the determination of chemical elements.
Among the significant achievements are the development of an industrial model of a flame photometer for determining Na, K, Li, Rb, and Cs in solid and liquid samples (2014), as well as a device for automatic background radiation correction in flame photometry.
