Environmental analysis and laboratory certification
With a state-of-the-art instrument park, NEXT Genomics is able to perform chromatographic analysis (gas chromatography, HPLC and ion exchangers), spectroscopic and latest generation spectrometers (GC-MS, HPLC-MS, NMR) for the characterization and quantification of analytes required.
Thanks to the skills of the technical staff, NEXT Genomics has gained over the years a proven expertise in the development of new analytical methods on complex matrices, quantifying notoriously difficult analytes even the ones absent from the price lists analysis of the main Italian laboratories.
WATER ANALYSIS
NEXT Genomics offers a complete analysis service on any type of water: drinking, groundwater, waste, surface and pool. Our chemical and microbiological analysis aims to evaluate the compliance of specific parameters based on the following legislative decrees: D.lgs. 31/2001 and D.lgs. 142/06, for human consumption water and for groundwater, wastewater and surface water, respectively.
SOIL ANALYSIS
Soil analysis is necessary for the assessment of the level of contamination and in order to determinate possible contamination of soils intended for the construction or agricultural sectors.
Furthermore, the agrochemical soil analysis has acquired great importance in recent years concerning fertilization plans. NEXT Genomics performs routine soil analysis according to the DM 152/06 and DM 13/9/99 (in Italy), moreover it is possible to implement the determination of the analytes according to the specific requests of customers.
WORKPLACES
The protection of workers' health, as well as being a moral duty, is a legal obligation, in order to ensure optimal management of production activities. D.lgs. 81/08 (chapter I title IX) regulates the matter of hazardous substances in the workplace, forcing companies to carry out a series of environmental monitoring to control and therefore limit the risk of exposure to chemical agents.
NEXT Genomics offers a specific analysis service for work environments, aimed at the determination of volatile organic substances (SOV), lead, ammonia and many other analytes.
