LABORATORY FOR SPECTROSCOPY
Lab activities
Spectroscopy Laboratory is used for education and research purposes in the framework of scientific and professional projects. Researchers at the Spectroscopy Lab are studying and applying methods for identifying and mapping materials using laboratory and field spectrometers. The lab concentrates on stable water isotope analyses (hydrogen and oxygen) which we measure by laser spectrometry (for scientific and research purposes as well as holding a part of Karst Hydrogeology course). At the Laboratory a practical part of the lectures in Repositories of radioactive waste was held (3 terms of 2 hours), which included demonstration work with safety equipment and devices for measuring ionizing radiation, as well as demonstration exercises in Waste Management.

Services:
The lab provides:
- analysis of 18O and D/H isotope ratios in liquid water samples using a Laser Water Isotope Analyzer (Los Gatos Research, Inc., Mountain View, CA, USA)
- groundwater sampling and in situ measurements of water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen (groundwater pump Sollinst and portable multiparameter WTW)
