Research Facilities

Environmental testing lab can perform a wide range of analysis of various types of samples, including but not limited to water, wastewater, soils, and gases. We provide a variety of testing services and educational support to UD community, commercial enterprises and others engaged in water, soil, and air quality management.

UD affiliates: General chemicals (acids, bases, and solvents) and general lab supplies will be provided. The users are responsible for preparation of calibration standards, purchase of specialty chemicals required for a particular application, and instrument supplies and gases required for the operation of a particular instrument.  i.e. vials, size and zeta potential measurement cells, HPLC and GC columns, and etc. If a user fails to provide these, an additional supply charge may apply.

• All UD users must have up to date EHS training records. The two required safety trainings are Advanced Chemical Hygiene and Right-to-Know, and Chemical waste disposal. They are available online at UDEHS website. These are minimum safety trainings that are required to obtain access to our facilities. Based on the type of research you may be required to take additional training.

Non UD affiliates: Please contact Lab Manager, Yu Han Yu, for more information.

All users must strictly adhere to the University of Delaware safety policies and wear appropriate attire while operating instruments in our lab. Please consult UDEHS website for laboratory dress code and safety requirements
