REHEMA Light Sarlu Laboratory in Kolwezi

Our flagship initiatives is the REHEMA Light Sarlu Laboratory in Kolwezi, DRC, led by Professor Mimpiya Ngamba. The laboratory serves as an essential training ground for young chemists, providing them with invaluable hands-on experience in chemical analysis and laboratory techniques. This initiative is crucial for the development of future leaders in the mining and smelting industries, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a country rich in mineral resources.

However, to maintain the laboratory’s high standards and continue its vital work, we recognize the need for modernization. The laboratory requires significant upgrades and new equipment to keep pace with the latest technological advancements and meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the sector. By supporting the REHEMA Light Sarlu Laboratory’s modernization efforts, we are committed to providing these future professionals with the tools they need to succeed and make a lasting impact.

The equipment required:

ICP for the analysis of metals and minerals

Atomic Absorbtion Perkin Elmer

METOREX XRF for quick analysis

LECO for analysis of Sulfur and Carbon
