New
Method Improves Lab Pesticide Testing
By
Tabitha Whitson, Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Utilities
 The
Laboratory Services Division (of Charlotte-Mecklenberg Utilities)
recently hosted Jay Rowden from Horizon Technology, Inc. to
give individualized training on new technology that will improve
pesticide testing. Over a three-day period, Laboratory Services
lab analysts were given training on the SPE-DEX 4790 Automated
Extraction System for preventative maintenance, method set-up,
system operation and troubleshooting.
Use
of this advanced technology now gives an additional method
for pesticide extractions that speeds the process, improves
recoveries  and
reduces analyst exposures to chemicals
used. The vendor aided in developing methods
for both water and wastewater monitoring.
This
training was a great experience for our analysts and will
increase the service level of the Laboratory Services Division.
Horizon Technology, Inc. will return to the Environmental
Services Facility in the near future to expand the training
and present a seminar. We would like to give a big thank you
to Horizon Technology, Inc. and Jay Rowden.
