You may remember that as part of our expansion strategy, we temporarily relocated sample reception from the Barbican to Beech Street, around the corner. As of the 9th of January, Beech Street will be closed and sample reception will revert back to the Barbican. Therefore, from this date, all samples will need to be delivered

Latis scientific are pleased to announce that we have won a contract with the Atomic Energy Authority (AEA), the UK’s Government’s research organisation responsible for the development of nuclear fusion power. The UK AEA manages the UK Fusion Research programme, through its research arm, Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE), based at Culham science centre in

This month Latis hosted the bi-annual meeting of the Standing Committee of Analysts . The Standing Committee of Analysts (SCA) comprises a series of working groups who provide guidance on methods of sampling and analysis for determining the quality of environmental matrices. Guidance is published as Blue Books within the series Methods for the Examination of

Last month Latis Scientific held our first Conference “Detection of Microorganisms in Water Systems” at the Royal College of Physicians In London. The event provided an excellent communication forum for microbiologists, water specialists, engineers and industry experts to discuss the latest research and developments in methodologies for the detection of microorganisms in water systems. Among

Latis Scientific recently tested water from a “holy well” at the Australian high commission in London as part of a story for the ABC – Australian Broadcasting Company News. The well, located in the basement of the famous from the Harry Potter movies, Australia House, is thought to be one of 20 throughout London that

Our team of experts are about to commence a six month research project into rapid detection methods. Working across a number of different sites we will be determining the prevalence of Legionella bacteria in cooling tower samples in the UK, using these new methods of rapid detection. Trial sites have been agreed to assess the application of

With a recent comprehensive refurbishment, our Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory now has increased analytical capacity. These moves to improve our services and capabilities now mean that we can offer a wider range of assays. Our latest improvements include: New instrumentation: including two new Ion Chromatography (IC) systems and a new Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer

Ian Mein, Business Development Director, will be taking to the stand at the upcoming Water Management Society conference to discuss our latest rapid microbiological techniques. This year’s conference, ‘The Rapid Rise of New Microbiological Techniques: Is this the future?’ takes on the subject of this new approach, presenting a number of case studies and opening

Investment into latest microbiology laboratory methods brings Rapid ID methods for microbiological assays, including 4hr Legionella Testing. In just 4 hours our Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) Legionella testing approach can provide accurate results, a crucial aspect for the ongoing safe operation of vital public facilities. In comparison, culture isolation, the standard method for the quantification of Legionella,
