Dedication to Professor Roger Perry
Roger Perry was the Professor of Environmental Control and Waste Management and Head of the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering Section at Imperial College until his untimely death in 1995. A leading and well known figure in the Environmental field, the legacy of Roger still remains in the EWRE Section and what it has become today. It is in tribute to this quite outstanding man therefore, that the new laboratory facilities are dedicated to his memory.
Introduction
The Roger Perry laboratory is one of the most modern laboratory facilities within Imperial College London. It offers an almost unrivalled selection of analytical techniques for routine and specialist chemical analysis of environmental samples.
The Environmental and Water Resource Engineering Section has for many years operated four analytical laboratories. However, after securing funding from sources such as HEFCE, ENTRUST and the College, a major refurbishment of three of our laboratories was undertaken, amalgamating them into one central facility.
The laboratory is a fully integrated facility with at-bench services including vacuum, natural gas, compressed air, distilled and ultra-pure water and two non-dedicated gas lines allowing specialist gases to be supplied as required.
The whole laboratory is designed around the concept of total flexibility. This means that apart from four fixed service cores, all the laboratory benching is movable, enabling large experiments to be set up and run under fully serviced and controlled conditions. In addition, the whole laboratory is rated as Cat II for Microbiological containment, enabling many micro-organisms to be utilised for experimental and research purposes.
The laboratory is divided into three main area, General experimental and sample preparation, a dedicated microbiological facility and a large fully serviced instrument laboratory.
Training Courses:
There are opportunities to undertake hands-on training in analysis technique s using both traditional wet chemistry and modern instrumental analysis techniques. Please contact the Laboratory Manager for further information and to discuss future courses.
