BAL Research Scientist Dr. Nausheen Sadiq has contributed to a recently-published book, Sample Introduction Systems in ICP-MS and ICP-OES, edited by Dr. Diane Beauchemin of Queen's University. Nausheen joined the BAL family in 2018 and has since moved up the ranks in...
When evaluating the selenium (Se) speciation at a site, sometimes things don’t add up – that is, the sum of detected Se species might be significantly lower than the associated dissolved Se result. Incomplete mass balances are often concerning, since they raise...
A chemical species is the specific form of an element defined as to isotopic composition, electronic or oxidation state, and/or complex or molecular structure. Speciation analysis is the analytical activities of identifying and/or measuring the quantities of one or...
Dr. Hakan Gürleyük, Brooks Applied Labs’ Technical Director and Sr. Scientist, was recently a Chemistry Seminar Series guest lecturer at the University of Washington – Bothell’s School of STEM. On March 13th Hakan led a class of approximately 45 undergraduate...
The topic of selenium has garnered attention in various industries for decades now, but the challenge associated with removing selenium from wastewaters has not diminished. In order to understand the most effective form of treatment for this unusual element that is...
When routine analytical testing indicates that a sample contains elevated levels of arsenic, more detailed characterization is often warranted. Performing arsenic speciation analysis – where specific molecular forms of arsenic are individually quantified – is often...
Brooks Applied Labs will be exhibiting at the Business & the Environment Conference & Expo in Portland December 11-12. This conference, organized by the Northwest Environmental Business Council (NEBC), is the Northwest's largest environmental conference, with...
The SETAC North America 39th Annual Meeting will be held in Sacramento November 4-8 this year. Come learn more about the unexpected ways alligators can potentially cause you harm you when Elizabeth Madonick, BAL Technical Services Specialist, presents a poster on the...
At the National Environmental Monitoring Conference (NEMC) in New Orleans last month, two of our BAL scientists presented in the session "Metals and Metals Speciation Analysis of Environmental Samples". Annie Carter's presentation focused on the...
