Assured Analytical Excellence

With over 80 years of accumulated knowledge dedicated to the study of soils, land use and the environment Macaulay Scientific Consulting Ltd (MSC), the commercial arm of the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute, offers exceptional multi-disciplinary consultancy and analytical capabilities and the flexibility to tackle a wide range of sample types.

As well as supporting the scientific research at the Institute, MSC offers analytical services to external clients, and a new documentary highlighting the services provided is available to view here.

Presented by Kate MacIntyre, the film outlines the comprehensive range of analytical services offered for the oil and gas, environmental and food sectors and reveals the facilities available to undertake a wide range of analyses related to soils, water and sediments.

Three case studies are also included which highlight the Institute’s capabilities in Trace Element Analysis, Isotope Geochemistry and Scanning Electron Microscopy. “We are one of very few commercial laboratories which have the range of advanced instrumentation that we have here, all in one location,” says Bill Donald, Head of Commercial Analysis. “Many of the techniques are complimentary to one another so we are able to harness several techniques to solve very complicated process and analytical problems.”
