Determination of key characteristic values


Our analytical chemistry experts use state of the art lab equipment to identify virtually all the classical chemical parameters and a large spectrum of physical characteristics.
Our experts reliably detect, identify and quantify a vast range of different compounds.

You can count on them to detect and quantify a vast range of compounds. Titrimetry, photometry and enzyme-based methods provide useful information, whether the material is present in trace amounts, as a pure substance, or anything in between.

Applications:

Our analytical solutions support areas such as research, process development, production, applications technology and environmental protection:
 
  • Determination of chemical characteristics (such as total acid number, hydroxyl number, carbonyl number, saponification number, peroxide number)
  • Determination of physical characteristics (such as pH, pKs and pKb, electrical conductivity, density, surface and interfacial tension, dynamic and kinematic viscosity)
  • Titrimetry (examples: determination of concentration and content, water analysis, polyelectrolyte measurement, surfactant determination)
  • Photometry (examples: determination of concentration and content, turbidimetry, determination of color numbers)
  • Enzyme-based assays
