While the standard technique for detecting hexavalent chromium, or Cr(VI), has improved over the years with the addition of ion chromatography (IC) coupled to UV/visible spectrophotometry, the EPA published methods still rely upon reaction-based chemistry which are...
Accurate data is essential for effective decision-making. Whether evaluating if food or water is safe for consumption, a site requires environmental cleanup, an industrial wastewater meets a discharge requirement, or a pharmaceutical ingredient is of sufficient...
If you follow our newsletters, you probably have noticed that BAL staff have had a busy winter and spring attending and presenting at many conferences around the country and even overseas. In case you missed any of the announcements or would like a copy of the...
Throughout the history of Brooks Applied Labs, we have continually supported nearly all facets of the mining industry, from exploration to site remediation, across the US and Canada. Our experience and knowledge, coupled with some of the most technologically advanced...
DoD EMDQ Workshop BAL's Technical Sales Manager, Jamie Fox, is headed back to Phoenix again to present at the 2017 Department of Defense Environmental Monitoring and Data Quality Workshop. This annual conference will be held April 18 - 20 at the U.S. Bureau of Land...
A little-known fact about the scientists at Brooks Applied Labs is that they present at scientific conferences throughout the year, continually perform research, and make concerted efforts to educate our clients and the community. The technical nature of the services...
March is a busy month for the BAL Road Warriors! The AEHS Foundation's International Conference on Soil, Water, Energy, and Air (AEHS Conference), held March 20-23 in San Diego, brings together environmental professionals to exchange information related to...
Brooks Applied Labs recently unveiled a new method for the quantitation of selenium in saline waters at concentrations of 5 ng/L (that converts to 0.005 µg/L!). This new capacity to support ultra-trace detection limits for elements predominately existing as anions in...
Ecotoxicity models for selenium have historically used total selenium concentrations to determine the risk to the ecosystem. However, more and more regulatory agencies are gaining an understanding of how the molecular form of selenium can impact the environment....
