James Hutton Limited is the commercial arm of the James Hutton Institute, Scotland.  James Hutton Institute research is at the forefront of innovative and transformative science for sustainable management of land, crop and natural resources to support thriving global communities. 

Water Types

The laboratory will handle samples prepared by techniques outside the facility.
Samples will therefore be submitted for analyses if required.

Technologies

Analytical facilities only - see below.

Analytical equipment

ICP-MS (low level elemental analysis - mainly transition elements, metalloids
and rare earths)
ICP-OES (elemental analysis - mainly group I and II, Sulphur and high 
concentration elements)
GC-MS - organic compounds, volatile and semi volatile
GC-FID - hydrocarbon,highly polar semi volatiles
LC-MS-MS (non-volatile organics)
Ion Chromatography (F, Cl, NO3, SO4, Br)
Discrete analysis (NH4, PO4, alkalinity and NO2)
pH
