Unit for Precise Instrumental Analysis

The unit for precise instrumental analysis consists of a total of 5 laboratories in which specific analyses are performed, such as a specific microbiological analysis; specific physiochemical analysis of plant material, soil, organic fertilizers, improvers, blood, meat, honey, milk, eggs, wool, and hair; the determination of heavy metals and essential and functional elements, metabolic activity, and osmotic stress; the determination of methane potential, and the like. Within this Unit, there is an adequate number of persons in charge of the laboratory to conduct the analyses and a sufficient number of trained personnel, adequate space, precise analytical equipment (HPLC, ICP‐MS, ICP‐OS, CN analyzer, CFA analyzer, various types of spectrophotometers, etc.), and material for a timely and appropriate conduct of specific analysis.

The Unit for Precise Instrumental Analysis consists of a total of five laboratories that conduct specific analyses, such as the following ones:

• oxidative stress determination
• spectroscopic and chromatographic measurements
• analysis of hematological and biochemical parameters
• molecular genetic and biotechnological analysis
• development of a geoinformation system (GIS) and others

Within all CAAU units, an adequate number of persons in charge of the laboratory to conduct an analysis and a sufficient number of trained personnel, appropriate space, equipment, and material for a timely and appropriate conduct of an analysis are ensured. Also, the records are kept on qualifications, training, experiences, and job descriptions for each individual Professional Associate, Senior Professional Associate, Professional Advisor, Laboratory Technician, or a Technician. The work tasks that have to be performed are defined, with a provision of additional training to the employees to perform them. With its capacities, laboratory equipment, and professional training of its employees, the CAAU is a guarantor of a high‐quality implementation of all laboratory analyses and of a timely delivery of research results to the end users.
