Chemical Analysis
B.N. Kirk (Natal) has a dedicated Chemistry Laboratory as well as a state-of-the-art Instrumentation Laboratory operating both an ICP- OES and GC-MS.
We test for a wide variety of determinants and have several accredited test methods, with further test methods planned for future accreditation.
