Projects

Are you wondering if we have the experience and expertise to help you? This page gives a short summary of just some of the problems that we have solved.

Recent small projects include the following:

ACCTA Consulting Goes International! ACCTA, Inc. extended it's consulting services to the international scientific community in October, 2010, working with scientists in Uganda's National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) on HPLC operations and method development.
Dr. Bicking assisted scientists in the National Banana Research Program (NBRP) in Kampala, Uganda.

• Installation and training for automated amino acid method and assistance with sample preparation procedures (multiple laboratories).
• Development of automated procedure for glutaraldehyde in saline.
• Development of method to determine aromatics in jet fuel and lube oils by adapting ASTM procedures.
• Development of method for classification of crude oil.
• Development and validation of a method for a topical disinfectant.
• On-site training on operation and maintenance of Agilent 1200, 1260, and 1290 HPLC systems.
