The Yargeau Laboratory of Controlling Contaminants of Concern is located at McGill University and is funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). This state-of-the-art laboratory is the solution to any research need related to the presence, fate, and removal of contaminants in the wastewater treatment process. Equipements include: LC-HRMS ; Microtox; Accelerated solvent extraction system; Microwave extraction system; solide phase extraction.
The MiCEL laboratory specializes in the molecular and metagenomic analysis of microbial communities present in water management infrastructure.
The laboratory is capable of performing various analyses using DNA and RNA present in environmental samples including: PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis and quantification, in situ fluorescence microscopy Hybridization of 16S RNA (FISH), high throughput amplicon sequencing to analyze phylogenetic and functional diversity of communities, and metagenomic sequencing (shotgun sequencing).
