Elemental Analysis Laboratory

An Elemental Analysis Laboratory is a specialized facility that tests substances to determine their elemental composition, meaning the types and amounts of elements they contain. This can include materials like soil, water, metals, or biological samples. By using techniques like spectroscopy or mass spectrometry, scientists in these laboratories can analyze samples to provide important data for various fields, including environmental science, chemistry, and quality control in manufacturing. The information gained helps researchers understand materials' properties, safety, and environmental impact.
