Al-Farabi KazNU
CPCMA — Center of Physico-Chemical Methods of Research and Analysis
The university’s analytical core: public sources report 13 laboratories and over 150 staff. Chromatography, mass spectrometry, elemental and radiation analysis — this is where samples go when an instrumental answer is required.
This catalogue is informational: it was compiled by the hub from open sources and is not an offer. The hub does not act as a representative of the university and does not dispose of its equipment. Scope, timelines and prices are confirmed by the laboratory for every request.
About the laboratory
The center brings together laboratories of ecology, electrochemistry, petrochemistry, radiation measurement and others. It concentrates the university’s main analytical park: GC-MS, HPLC, ICP-MS, atomic absorption spectrometry, and alpha/beta/gamma spectrometry. The service list is compiled from the center’s public materials and is being refined; turnaround and pricing are agreed per task.
