(UCCL) has been built at IRMM to allow reliable, contamination free chemical treatment of samples prior to inorganic elemental or isotopic analysis. The concept is intended to guarantee a dust-free environment as well as resistance to corrosion even if hot, concentrated mixtures of acids are continuously used, thus establishing not a clean or dust-free room but a clean laboratory. The excellent air quality is demonstrated both by particle measurements and the analysis of acids purified by subboiling distillation in the UCCL. }, title = {The Ultra Clean Chemical Laboratory (UCCL) at the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM).}, type = {}, url = {}, volume = {357}, number = {}, journal = {Fresenius Journal of Analytical Chemistry}, pages = {359-363}, issn = {}, publisher = {}, doi = {} }
