Laboratory Solutions for Environmental & Water
Environmental testing laboratories require robust, sensitive analytical instruments for monitoring water quality, air pollution, soil contamination, and industrial effluents. From regulatory compliance to environmental impact assessments, accurate analysis protects ecosystems and public health.
Laboratory Solutions for Environmental & Water
Environmental testing laboratories require robust, sensitive analytical instruments for monitoring water quality, air pollution, soil contamination, and industrial effluents. Wirsam Scientific supplies instruments from SEAL Analytical (flow analysers for nutrients), GBC Scientific (AAS for trace metals), HORIBA (ICP-OES, particle sizing), VELP Scientifica (BOD/COD), and Berghof (microwave digestion) — providing a complete environmental monitoring laboratory solution backed by local service across Southern Africa.
What We Help You Analyse
Wirsam instruments support the full range of analytical requirements in this sector.
Common Laboratory Challenges
Analytical problems this industry faces and how our instruments address them.
Water Quality Monitoring
Multi-parameter analysis of surface water, groundwater, and treated effluent for compliance with DWS and SANS standards covering nutrients, metals, and organic compounds.
Soil & Sediment Contamination
Trace metal and organic contaminant determination in soils and sediments for site assessment, remediation monitoring, and environmental impact studies.
Industrial Effluent Compliance
Monitoring of industrial wastewater discharges including heavy metals, nutrients, COD, and BOD to ensure compliance with trade effluent consents.
Air Quality & Emissions
Monitoring of particulate matter, gaseous pollutants, and stack emissions. Atmospheric carbon fraction analysis for climate research and source apportionment.

Frequently Asked Questions
For comprehensive water analysis, we recommend ICP-OES (HORIBA Ultima Expert) for multi-element metal analysis, and SEAL Analytical flow analysers (QuAAtro39, AQ series) for nutrients including nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, and silica. Berghof microwave digestion ensures complete sample dissolution.
Yes. For soil analysis we supply the complete workflow: microwave digestion or acid digestion block for dissolution, ICP-OES or AAS for metals, and XRF for rapid screening. For field screening, XRF provides immediate results without laboratory preparation.
We supply the VELP BOD EVO respirometric system for automated 5-day BOD analysis, and the VELP ECODryBlock thermoreactor for COD digestion. These systems comply with ISO and APHA standard methods.
All instruments are suitable for use in SANAS-accredited laboratories. We provide calibration certificates, method documentation, and can assist with method validation to ISO 17025.
