ANALYSES and TEST

The overview lists the internal codes under which the analysis is conducted in the RIBM, the methodology according to which it is carried out and links to the relevant department that carries it out. The analyses listed here are commonly available at the Institute. The state-of-the-art instrumentation and capabilities of our staff allow us to perform a number of non-standard or unlisted analyses and experiments. In the case of a long-term and quantitatively interesting contract, some other methods and tests on plant material can be introduced and accredited.
