Our laboratories include sophisticated and comprehensive water testing facilities that can be applied to many and varied industrial and commercial situations.
Founded in 1998 by A. Dyer and A. Upton, Aquasolve began life with two ion-chromatographs running four channels and processed 1,000 samples in its first year. Over the next two decades we continually invested in automation and instrumentation—expanding our premises, adding ICP-OES, robotic pH/conductivity platforms and high-throughput titrators—so that today we handle more than 50,000 samples annually. ISO 9001 accreditation in 2007 and our acquisition by Fernox in 2024 mark the proud milestones of our journey.
1998 – Company founded by A. Dyer & A. Upton; Two IC systems (4 channels) installed; 1,000 samples processed that year
