It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Gordon Rampy, the founder of CHEMetrics, has passed away at the age of 96. An MIT-trained chemist, saw the need for faster, simpler, and safer water testing solutions. He developed an innovative technology for colourimetric water testing applications, based on a unique self-filling reagent ampoule, and founded CHEMetrics in 1969 in order to bring this exciting new technology to market. Under his tenure the company grew from strength to strength, offering solutions for a variety of different testing applications. He will be sorely missed.

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Gordon A. Rampy, founder of CHEMetrics, who passed away peacefully on July 7 at the age of 96.

Gordon was more than an entrepreneur. He was a chemist, innovator, and visionary whose curiosity and determination led him to develop the water-testing ampoule that became the foundation of CHEMetrics. From a basement laboratory to a globally respected company, his work helped shape the water testing industry and continues to make an impact around the world.

He was known for his sharp mind, honesty, and high standards, earning the respect and loyalty of colleagues who worked alongside him for decades. We are grateful to have had Gordon as a leader and for the lasting impact he made on our company and industry.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Gordon was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who cherished his family.

Our thoughts are with the Rampy family during this time. He will be greatly missed.

Accurate testing helps municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) run at peak efficiency. Accurate and reliable wastewater testing is crucial for ensuring environmental compliance, safeguarding public health, and optimising treatment processes. Wastewater treatment facilities play a vital role in managing water quality by removing contaminants before the treated water is released back into the environment or reused. Producing reliable test results is dependent upon both appropriate sampling and testing procedures. Inaccurate wastewater analysis could lead to unnecessary adjustments to your treatment process or even regulatory fines. In this article, we explore some of the most common obstacles in wastewater sampling and testing and strategies to help any wastewater operator pull quality samples and test them reliably.

Overview of wastewater sampling techniques and testing considerations, and suitable CHEMetrics test kits for ammonia, chlorine and hardness analysis.
