Central laboratory service

Head of department of central laboratory RNDr František Novák, CSc.

Researcher Mgr. Hana Hrabalová

Central laboratory works in Technopark for internal branch project groups and as a service for external customers. It is equipped by the apparates installed in central laboratory and uses apparates of other laboratories of branches project groups too.

Another important function of department of Central laboratory service of Technopark Kralupy is a possibility to provide technical consultancy in field of materials and changes of theirs properties. These services can be use for determining composition of unknown samples or recommending of suitale method to finding out of required informations.
