Radiochemical Analysis - Quality Assurance

Contact: Catherine Barnett

The radiochemistry laboratories have UKAS accreditation for a number of methods and a quality management system in place throughout the laboratory. Full details of our accreditation schedule can be found here.

Customers benefit from the following:

• Experienced analysts
• Traceable standards and reference materials
• Proven technical advice
• Clear quotations and reports
• Participation in inter-laboratory comparisons

As a laboratory, we are also willing to develop methods, should you have an unusual sample to be analysed, or a request for a particular method.

Service tariffs

Many of our investigations are specifically tailored to customer needs, so analyses are costed individually.

Examples from work undertaken in the past couple of years:

• Analyses of 25 soil samples for gross alpha/beta and gamma spectroscopy, including customer report: £2,375
• Analysis of 10 water samples for Sr-90, including customer report: £2,000
