The Central Laboratory for Chemical Analysis was set up, among other things, to standardise the measurement methods used in research and science within GEOMAR.

The working basis of this central laboratory is the DFG guideline for the maintenance of central facilities in the European research landscape.

We work according to so-called Standard Operating Protocols (SOP), which are internationally recognised in science.

Further information on quality assurance can be found under equipment specifications, methods and peer-reviewed publications.
