analytical laboratory setup

LabSPACE Africa is an unincorporated company that provides facilities to local and international researchers from South Africa. Facilities that are available include research space spaces for archiving samples in the long run, as well as the climatic units of our lab for stability evaluations. Our aim is to lower the cost of equipment, lab overheads and operating costs so that research can be carried out more efficiently and efficiently.

LabSPACE runs its own analytical chemistry services. It provides laboratory as well as office space to both academic and industry researchers. They also have access to all of our analytical equipment and general analytical tools to help from sample creation to reports.

We want to build LabSPACE Africa facilities in South Africa that give our customers and us a competitive advantages in various research fields.

For clients looking for partnerships or to rent lab space, LabSPACE gives them access to analytic laboratories at affordable prices. This allows them to operate their own facilities without the overhead costs of operating your own lab.

Compliant services comprise the addition of laboratory spaces in activities that concern safety in compliance with local regulations as well as the management of biological or chemical waste.

Contact us for a space at our facility or for assistance with the steps involved in the process of setting up your own facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

This quote was written by C. N. Reilly (1925-1981), who received the 1965 Fisher Award in Analytical Chemistry. Reilly was a Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and was one of the most important analytical chemists of this century.

Another view of analytical chemistry can be found in the article "Quo Vadis Analytical Chemistry?". The full reference is Valcarcel M. Anal. Bioanal. Chem. 2016, 408, 13-21.

Let's start with a simple question. What is analytical Chemistry? Analytical chemistry, like all other areas of chemistry in chemistry, is so vast and constantly changing that it is hard to find a more simple definition than the one above. This chapter will expand on this simple definition, and talk about both what analytical chemistry can be and what it isn't.

Analytical Chemistry is often described as the branch of chemistry that characterizes the composition of matter. Analytical chemistry can be described as the area of chemistry responsible for determining the composition of matter both qualitatively (Is there lead in this paint chip?) and quantitatively ("How much lead is it in this paintchip?"). This description is misleading, as we will see.

Many chemists make both qualitative and quantitative measurements every day. Some scientists believe that analytical chemistry does not exist as a separate branch of chemical chemistry. It is simply the application and understanding of chemical knowledge. You may have done many of these quantitative and qualitative analyses while studying chemistry.

For example, you might have used an acid-base method to determine the vinegar's acetic acid concentration or a qual system to determine which metal ions are present in an aqueous sample.

Analytical chemistry is not the application of chemical knowledge. This misses the unique perspective of an analytical chemist when it comes to studying chemistry. Analytical chemistry is not about performing routine analyses on routine samples--a task we appropriately refer to as chemical analysis--but rather in improving existing analytical methods, extending these analytical methods for new types of samples and developing new analytical methods that measure chemical phenomena [de Haseth J. Spectroscopy19905(7), 11].

This is an example of the difference between chemical and analytical chemistry. An engineer mining an ore compares the cost of extracting the ore from the ground with its value. They do this by analysing a sample of ore. Analytical chemists are responsible for developing and validating quantitative analytical methods. The chemical analyst is responsible for the daily routine application of these analytical methods.
