Laboratory Tests

:::INTRODUCTION:::

Laboratories of the Environmental Research Center are looking forward to being a leader in the field of providing environmental analysis services by following up the latest developments in the environmental arena of modern equipment, new technologies and human resources. Following up on the latest developments in the field of environment, the employees of the center have great experience in providing services and meeting the needs of researchers inside and outside The University of Technology, offers a wide range of traditional tests, specializing in the field of Agriculture and Textile Chemistry and Immunological, Air Pollution, Soil and Water, Environmental Radiation, and Instrumental Analysis. The most laboratory tests are:
