Preparation of Standards and Samples at VUT

The Institute of Chemical and Biotechnology (ICBT), part of the Faculty of Applied and Computer Sciences at the Vaal University of Technology (VUT), has recently acquired an ELGA Chorus I water purification system. This system will support the preparation of standards and samples for ICP-OES analysis of heavy metals in soil, water testing and Cannabis sativa L. As part of its ongoing development, the laboratory is working toward full accreditation as a cannabis testing facility, equipped with top class instruments.
