Assured Analytical Excellence
22 June 2010
With over 70 years of accumulated knowledge dedicated to the study of soils, land use and the environment Macaulay Scientific Consulting Ltd (MSC), the commercial arm of the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute, offers exceptional multi-disciplinary consultancy and analytical capabilities and the flexibility to tackle a wide range of environmental samples.
As well as supporting the scientific research at the Institute, MSC offers analytical services to external clients, and a new documentary highlighting the services offered by Macaulay Analytical will be premiered at the Royal Highland Show.
Presented by Kate MacIntyre, the film outlines the comprehensive range of analytical services offered for the oil and gas, environmental and food sectors and reveals the facilities available to undertake a wide range of analyses related to soils, water and sediments.
Three case studies are also included which highlight the Institute’s capabilities in Isotope Analysis, Mass Spectrometry and Electron Microscopy. “We are one of very few commercial laboratories which have the range of advanced instrumentation that we have here, all in one location,” says Bill Donald, Head of Commercial Analysis. “Many of the techniques are complimentary to one another so we are able to harness several techniques to solve very complicated processes and analytical problems.”
Dr Andy Midwood, the Analytical Group Manager says, “Here at Macaulay Analytical, our key asset is our staff. We have staff from a purely academic background, but we also have staff from the private sector. This means that we can deliver very high quality analysis, but we don’t lose sight of the commercial relevance of what we’re doing.
“Many of our staff members are experts in their own right and many are published scientists. In addition to that, because we’re intimately linked with the research institute, we deliver analyses for an international programme of research. This means that much of the equipment we have here is state of the art. Having excellent equipment and very experienced staff is a very powerful combination which is also available to our commercial clients and that’s the key thing that sets us apart from many other commercial laboratories.”
So whether it’s scale build-up in a pipeline or assessing waste to make sure you’re meeting the required legislation, or it might just be that your vegetables aren’t growing well, whatever the issue, there are people, processes and facilities available to provide the answer you need. From multiple experiments to analysis of a single substance, from the simple to the complex, from soil samples to sausage skins, you can be assured of analytical excellence.
A trailer of the documentary is now available to view at www.macaulayanalytical.com with the full documentary and three case studies coming soon.
