The Instrumental Analysis Laboratory is devoted to applications which involve the use of various analytical methods (electrochemical, optical, spectrometric) for the in-situ and ex-situ experimental determination of a wide range of quality parameters specific to aquatic ecosystems.
SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES
- complex analyses of air, water and soil samples;
- direct determination of compounds in the samples to be analyzed;
- determination of inorganic and organic pollutants in water (heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients
- online and real-time monitoring of Danube water quality);
- in-situ and ex-situ monitoring of aquatic ecosystem quality;
- elaboration of statistical models and algorithms for estimating and monitoring the global water quality index (WQI);
- algorithmization of physical, chemical and biological parameters for determining quality classes for surface aquatic ecosystems;
- development of electrochemical biosensors detecting pesticides;
- development of electrochemical biosensors for detecting hormones, antibiotics, toxic cations and toxic anions.
