Elemental Analysis

Carbon/Nitrogen/Sulfur/Chlorine Analysis

Elemental analysis is a process where a sample of some material (e.g., petrochemical, soil, waste or drinking water, minerals) is analysed for its elemental composition. This information is very important for organic chemists working in refineries and quality control labs to ensure a high quality finished product, optimize production processes and ensure that the product complies with the laws and market regulations. Our products are compliant to standards such as EN ISO 20846, safe, cost-effective and fully automated.

TOC Analysis

Total organic carbon (TOC) is the amount of carbon found in an organic compound and is often used as a non-specific indicator of water quality or cleanliness of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment.

ICP-OES

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), is an analytical technique used for the detection of chemical elements. It is a type of emission spectroscopy that uses the inductively coupled plasma to produce excited atoms and ions that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of a particular element. It is a flame technique with a flame temperature in a range from 6000 to 10000 K. The intensity of this emission is indicative of the concentration of the element within the sample.

X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the emission of characteristic “secondary” (or fluorescent) X-rays from a material that has been excited by bombarding with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays. The phenomenon is widely used for elemental analysis and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science, archaeology and art objects such as paintings and murals.

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a spectroanalytical procedure for the quantitative determination of chemical elements using the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state. In analytical chemistry the technique is used for determining the concentration of a particular element (the analyse) in a sample to be analysed. AAS can be used to determine over 70 different elements in solution, or directly in solid samples via electrothermal vaporisation, and is used in pharmacology, biophysics and toxicology research.
