📋 Tender Overview
The Geological Mining and Metallurgical Institute Ingemmet is internationally recognized through its Chemistry Laboratory for achieving 100 acceptable analytical results in the inter-laboratory round 305 organized by the Environmental Resource Associates ERA in December 2021 being qualified as a laboratory of Excellence out of a total of 103 participating laboratories obtaining satisfactory results in all the analytes or parameters tested.The executive president of Ingemmet Ing. Vctor Daz Yosa welcomed the achievement This is a recognition of the quality and excellence of the analyzes that are carried out in the Ingemmet laboratories he pointed out thus evidencing the quality and reliability of the methods tests carried out by the institution.It should be noted that since 2017 the Ingemmet Chemistry Laboratory has participated in aptitude tests for physicochemical and instrumental chemistry methods those that represent a performance evaluation mechanism with respect to previously established criteria in comparison with other national and international laboratories. The matrices correspond to water and minerals obtaining satisfactory results based on the parameter Z-score 2 in which the analyte and the measurement range are declared.In mineral suitability tests gold Au and oxides such as Al2O3 Cr2O3 Fe2O3 MgO MnO SiO2 TiO2 CaO K2O Na2O and P2O5 stand out in addition to the so-called rare earths Dy Er Eu Gd Hf Nd Pr Sm Ta Tb Th U and Yb among others. These tests are carried out using atomic optical mass and X-ray absorption spectrometry. Regarding the water matrix our participation in the following analytes stands out alkalinity CaCO3 chlorides electrical conductivity fluoride nitrates nitrite as nitrogen nitrate as nitrogen potassium and sulfates. These are analyzed by potentiometric titration ion chromatography and optical and mass spectrometry.Through this achievement Ingemmet maintains its commitment to obtain ISOIEC 17025 accreditation and ISO 9001 certification in order to continue providing timely reliable and quality services to its users.
