Description

TOAC is supported by research grants and income from fee-for-service analyses. Its primary purpose is to provide analytical expertise and sophisticated instrumentation for UW researchers with a focus on analyses of environmental or personal exposures to toxic chemicals.

TOAC has a broad range of equipment for organic, gravimetrics and inorganic analyses. A select list of instruments can be found on the EHL/TOAC Facilities page.

Instruments are available to investigators who are either knowledgeable in their operation or have been trained by the TOAC staff. Charges are based on an hourly instrument rate. In addition, TOAC staff can operate the instrumentation with charges based on an hourly personnel rate.
