Description

The Environmental Research & Training Laboratory (ERTL) provides advanced analytical instrumentation and training to UK researchers and collaborators. Included in the 4,500 square feet of laboratory space are the Geo-Sciences Facility, the Inorganic/Organic Facility, the Microbial Facility, and the Computer Facility. By providing funding to this National Science Foundation initiative, TFCE supports a central mandate of quality control and assurance that includes training researchers to obtain results that will stand up in a court of law. UK graduate students and other UK researchers adopting the relevant methods, co-workers from other Kentucky institutions, and industrial partners are eligible to use ERTL.
