The types of analyses carried out are:
Organic Analyses
- Water samples for VOCs using a purge and trap GC/MS
- Water samples for VOCs using headspace introduction into a GC
- Soil samples for VOCs using headspace introduction into a GC
- Soil/sediment samples for VOCs using a purge and trap GC/MS
- Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon compounds by Gas Chromatography (GC)
- Total petroleum hydrocarbon analysis by GC Air samples for VOCs by GC
Inorganic Analyses
- Elemental analysis using an Simultaneous or Sequential Inductively Coupled
- Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer
- Low level selenium determinations using a hydride generator coupled to a flame atomic absorbance spectrometer
- Low level selenium determinations using flow injection or Cutter method
- Selenium speciation using extraction techniques
- Anion chromatography using High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC)
- Conductance and pH of soil and water samples
- Turbidity of water
- Determination of bicarbonate and carbonate in water
This is an example of Trichlorethene and Tetrachlorethene analysis using a Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer. These are two common contaminates at DOE National Laboratories nationwide.
