Becquerel Laboratories Inc.
Description of Company and Activities
Becquerel Laboratories Inc. is a small, specialized,
analytical group established in 1982. The company is managed
and directed from the Mississauga office and differentiates from
other labs by offering only two types of analysis: radionuclide
analysis and neutron activation analysis (NAA).
Our skilled group includes Ph.D. chemists who have over 25
years of experience with radiochemical analysis and NAA. We
provide analysis for a wide range of radionuclides in
environmental samples such as water, sediments and fish, plus
air filters and process control samples. We have also worked on
research projects concerned with the uptake of uranium and its
decay products.
Neutron activation analysis involves irradiation of the
sample, usually without any pretreatment. This technique has
been applied to large geochemical reconnaissance surveys for
environmental and exploration programs. Because of our unique
expertise, we can provide customized analysis for difficult
matrices such as vegetation, coal and plastics.
Becquerel is accredited to ISO 17025 by the Standards Council of Canada. Becquerel is a member of The Canadian Association of
Environmental Analytical Laboratories (CAEAL) and The
Canadian Council of Independent Laboratories(CCIL) and conforms to its Code of Ethics. The lab participates in a proficiency testing programs using neutron activation as well as standard certification programs for CANMET and NIST.
For radiological analysis, Becquerel participates in the
Environmental Resource Associates Performance Evaluation Program. These help to evaluate our analysis
performance and to assess our QA/QC procedures regarding
analyses of air filter, soil, vegetation and water samples.
