Elemental analysis


Elemental analysis offers you a full service for determining the elemental composition of a very wide range of samples. You benefit from our unique method/operations and know-how Verbund system which allows us to deal with the most complex analytical questions – including method development and validation.
 
A combination of expertise, state-of-the-art equipment and lab technology gives you optimum solutions right across the board, including ultra trace, full analysis and elemental balances.
 

Applications:

We have proven expertise in the following areas:
 
  • Elemental analysis of raw materials, intermediates and sales products with inorganic, organic and biological matrices, waters, residues, sludges, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pigments, biological matrices (blood, urine), environmental samples, dusts, and much more.
  • Analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts
  • Ultra trace analysis of electronic grade chemicals for the semiconductor industry in cleanroom facilities
  • Valency determination
