Analytical Services

The ETSU Department of Chemistry provides analytical services to other ETSU departments, as well as local industry.

The analytical instruments in the department enable us to analyze a wide range of chemical compounds in different matrices such as water, gasoline, agricultural crops, etc. The instruments in the department are Atomic Absorption, FTIR, HPLC, GC/MS, GC/FID, GC/FID, UV, Fluorimeter,400 MHz NMR, and LC/MS.

We accomodate short and long term projects. The cost of the analysis is $50 per sample. For long term projects there will be a flat charge depending on the analysis.

Both inorganic and organic compounds can be analyzed and characterized by experienced personnel in consultation with the highly recognized faculty members in the chemistry department at ETSU.

Inorganic Compounds: chloride, fluoride, nitrite/nitrate, antimony, calcium, potassium, sodium, tin, lead, magnesium, copper, nickel, manganese, iron, zinc.

Organic Compounds: ascorbic acid, phenol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), pesticides residue analysis.
