The national center for detection and identification of chemical agents

​General description:

The National center for detection and identification of chemical agents, alongside with its sister unit, the National center for detection and identification of toxins and biological agents, is Israel's definitive diagnostic facility for detecting and identifying various chemical threat compounds.

Our Fields of expertise:

  • High-sensitivity and thorough screening for toxic chemical compounds, with detection capabilities at trace levels.

  • Confident identification of the detailed chemical structure.

  • Unmasking of matrix interferences, to enable detection and identification even in complex samples.

  • An array of methods for sample handling – environmental (air, water, soil), clinical (body fluids, tissues and hair), food and others. 

  • Broad coverage of the chemical spectrum with diverse characteristics – volatility, polarity, reactivity and various functional groups.

  • State of the art instrumentation, including GC, GC-MS, LC-MS QQQ, LC-MS accurate mass and ICP-AE. Unique Chemical derivatization methods and instrumental configurations are used for enhancement of performance​.
