The Soós Ernő Water Technology Research and Development Center with help of supporters established the Water Analysis Laboratory in 2017.

Primarily technological, and additional analytical and biological investigations are carried out in the laboratory. There is a wide range of classical analytical methods (gravimetric analysis, titrimetric analysis, electric conductivity analysis), however, instrumental analytical techniques (spectroscopy, chromatography, chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry) are increasingly used to determine very small amounts of components.

The Water Analysis Laboratory aims investigations on drinking water, well water, surface water, ground water and bathing water in the field and in the laboratory as well.

The Water Analysis Laboratory is opened to all intereted students. Our research center provides laboratory lectures for groups, classes, or people interested in sciences.
