offer opportunities in research and technology

UDC’s Environmental Quality Testing LabGas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) measures pesticides,

pharmaceutical products and other organic pollutants (e.g. PAHs, PCBs etc) in air,

water, plants and soils at very low detection limits.

NexION 300 ICP-MS

Inductively coupled-plasma – mass spectrophotometer Fast trace elemental analysis

at lowest detection limits with high precision! Its introduction is perfectly timed to at lowest detection limits with high precision! Its introduction is perfectly timed to

help address global problems ranging from contamination of air, water and food

supply in the part-per trillion range.

TOC-Vcs/cp & SSM-5000A

Total organic carbon analyzer is excellent for studying and monitoring of organic

contamination of surface and ground water quality , industrial and sewage plants

effluent. Incorporating the SSM-5000A permits analysis of many solid samples in

addition to aqueous samples, including soil, sludge, and sediments.

WEST (Wastewater Simulation and Modeling)

WEST is the most powerful and flexible dynamic wastewater modeling simulation

software available on the market.

SAS Analytics

SAS provides a range of techniques and processes for the collection, classification,

analysis and interpretation of data to reveal patterns, anomalies, key variables and

relationships, leading ultimately to new insights and better answers faster.relationships, leading ultimately to new insights and better answers faster.

SWMM (Stormwater Management Model)

StormWater Management Model (SWMM) is a dynamic rainfall-runoff simulation

model used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity

and quality from primarily urban areas.

QUAL2k

QUAL2K (or Q2K) is a river and stream water quality model
