Available area of approximately 100 m². This laboratory is coordinated by Professors Raildo Mota de Jesus and Ivon Pinheiro Lôbo, and is equipped with workbenches, ovens, lipid extractors, ultrapure water purification system, precision analytical balances, and precision glassware.

In this laboratory, research is carried out involving the development of analytical methods and applications focused on inorganic and organic contaminants, specifically targeting the determination of potentially toxic elements in environmental, biological, and food samples.

Equipment:

• Elmasonic ultrasonic bath (Elma Schmidbauer GmbH)

• Multiwave 5000 microwave (Anton-Paar), equipped with PTFE-TFM vessels

• AP-56 vortex agitator (Phoenix Instrument GmbH, Garbsen, Germany)

• Freezers and fume hoods
  The laboratory includes, among others, the following equipment for identification and quantification of environmental contaminants:
  i) A Triple Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS, Agilent, Model 8900)
  ii) An Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES, Varian, Model 710 ES) with axial configuration, used for the determination of nutrient, toxic, or potentially toxic elements.
  iii) A sample digester, using a microwave-assisted digestion platform (Multiwave 5000, Anton-Paar) with PTFE-TFM vessels.

Professor Team: Raildo Mota de Jesus, Ivon Pinheiro Lôbo, Luana Novaes Santos, and Herick Macêdo Santos.
