The UK’s leading provider of ECD services, supporting labs globally

At Ellutia, we know that managing Electron Capture Detectors (ECDs) is a critical task for laboratories across the world. ECDs are essential in industries such as environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and food safety, where their ability to detect trace amounts of specific compounds makes them invaluable. However, because these detectors contain radioactive materials, proper maintenance and disposal are crucial to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. As the UK’s leading provider of ECD services and one of the few government-certified facilities, we are uniquely positioned to support labs not only in the UK and Ireland but around the globe, helping them navigate these complex challenges with confidence.

Disposing of ECDs can be a daunting process, given the strict regulations surrounding radioactive materials. Our comprehensive disposal service ensures that your ECDs are handled safely and legally, from initial verification to final documentation. By partnering with Ellutia, you can be confident that your lab is not only compliant but also contributing to responsible environmental practices.

Regular maintenance, including wipe testing, is equally important to keep your ECDs operating safely and effectively. Over time, detectors can accumulate contamination from samples, which may affect their performance and pose safety risks. In the UK it is best practice to perform a wipe test annually. If your detector hasn’t been tested within this period, you risk being non-compliant. Our easy-to-use wipe test kits allow you to check for contamination in-house, without needing external consultants. Simply collect the samples and send them to us for analysis. We’ll provide a detailed report, ensuring your lab meets all safety and compliance standards. To learn more about our ECD wipe testing service, click here to visit our wipe test page.
