Supporting UK and Ireland labs with certified ECD services
Oct 07 2024
At Ellutia, we understand that managing Electron Capture Detectors (ECDs) is a complex and critical responsibility for laboratories. These detectors play a crucial role in industries like environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and food safety due to their ability to detect trace amounts of specific compounds. However, their radioactive nature means that maintaining and disposing of them correctly is essential. As one of the few UK government-certified sites authorised to perform ECD services, we’re uniquely equipped to help labs across the UK and Ireland navigate these challenges with confidence and compliance.
Disposing of ECDs can be a daunting process, given the strict regulations surrounding radioactive materials. Our comprehensive disposal service ensures that your ECDs are handled safely and legally, from initial verification to final documentation. By partnering with Ellutia, you can be confident that your lab is not only compliant but also contributing to responsible environmental practices. For more information about our hassle-free ECD disposal process, click here to visit our disposal page.
Regular maintenance, including wipe testing, is equally important to keep your ECDs operating safely and effectively. Over time, detectors can accumulate contamination from samples, which may affect their performance and pose safety risks. In the UK, it is a legal requirement for ECDs to be tested every 18 months. If your detector hasn’t been tested within this period, you risk being non-compliant. Our easy-to-use wipe test kits allow you to check for contamination in-house, without needing external consultants. Simply collect the samples and send them to us for analysis. We’ll provide a detailed report, ensuring your lab meets all safety and compliance standards. To learn more about our ECD wipe testing service, click here to visit our wipe test page.
If you’re looking for a trusted partner to manage your ECDs, we’re here to help. Whether you need disposal, maintenance, or compliance support, Ellutia offers reliable and professional solutions tailored to your lab’s needs. Reach out to us today to learn more about how we can support your laboratory and keep your operations running smoothly and safely.
