The lab is designed specifically to support research with quantitative analytical methods in a number of disciplines including environmental health, quality, and safety, terrestrial and marine biology, geology, and ecology. The ASET lab’s infrastructure is state-of-the-art and can address organic and inorganic toxic and non toxic substances in ultra low levels in a variety of matrices such as soil, water, rocks, tissue, and plasma. The lab houses a number of fume hoods including perchlorate and metal free hoods as well as a clean lab for trace metal analysis to address all research requirements.
The ASET lab is unique in the sense that it provides a state-of-the-art research facility and concomitant acts as a teaching lab providing hands-on experiences with high-tech analytical instruments. Current research projects that use the ASET lab are manifold including fatty acids and chlorinated fatty acids in sea lions, sea otter, and human plasma, disinfection by-products in drinking water, persistent organic pollutants such as PCBs, PBDEs and pesticides, arsenic levels by species in drinking water, phthalates in marine organism, perchlorate in the environment, and trace metals in surface water, ground water, and sediments. References to abstracts and papers of research performed using the ASET lab can be found here. The ASET lab is administered by the Environment and Natural Resources Institute (ENRI). In 2009 the ASET lab moved to the Conoco Phillips Integrated Science Building. ASET Management Team:

About ASET
About ASET
The ASET Laboratoryis a quantitative analytical facility that provides research on some of the most vexing health, safety, welfare and climate change issues facing Alaska. Some of these issues relate to toxic substances (both natural and anthropogenic) but also to chemical changes in the environment due to increasing melting of glacier and permafrost.
