In the laboratory standard samples, solutions, included into state register of RK, up-to-date normative documents, STRK, GOSTs, MPs are used
For the purpose of laboratory activities quality verification inter-laboratory comparisons of results are conducted on regular basis in addition to intra-laboratory control.
The Laboratory of Elemental Analysis performs inter-laboratory comparisons for such objects as water, soil, bottom sediments, aerosol and uranium particulate materials to monitor the quality of its activities. For the purpose of tests, certified equipment is used.
The laboratory staff consists of 7 members as follows: 2 PhD doctors, 3 Ph.D. candidates, 2 masters. Laboratory staff members periodically improve their qualification both in CIS countries and in non-CIS countries.
