Instrumentation

Katahdin continually invests in new instrumentation and software to stay current with new state-of the art technology. In order to provide ample capacity for larger projects and redundancy in case of unplanned equipment downtime, Katahdin has purchased multiple instruments to perform the more commonly request analyses. The following table represents current instrumentation at Katahdin.
