Wolfson Laboratory for Environmental Geochemistry

This laboratory measures the geochemical properties of the Earth’s surface materials, underpinning research on biogeochemical cycling and environmental pollution.

Equipment housed in the Wolfson Laboratory

• Horoba JY Ultima 2C ICP-AES
• Dionex Ion Chromatograph
• Leco® C/S Analyser
• Shimadzu 5000 TOC/DOC Analyser
• VG-MassLab GCMS (with P&T facility)
• Milestone microwave extraction labstation
• 3m Laminar Flow Hood with Activated Carbon Filter (for trace-organic work)
• HF Scrubbing Fume Cupboards
• UV-Visible Spectrophotometer
• Elga Ultra Pure Water
• a variety of minor equipment

If you require use of the Wolfson Laboratory, please contact the laboratory manager, Dr. Karen Hudson-Edwards, to discuss the work proposed.

After discussion with the laboratory manager, should technical assistance be needed for the work, fill out this Geochemistry Job Requisition Form and e-mail it to the chair of the Geochemistry Scheduling Forum, Prof. John McArthur.

Please note requests for assistance with student projects must originate from supervisors.
