Description
The research group analyzes the user's needs and establishes the most suitable technology for carrying out the analytical determination. The working conditions are optimized and a standardized working protocol is drawn up. Technical advice can be provided on site and training courses can be given for the company's staff. Products of interest can be quantitatively determined.Other information
