Inductively Coupled Plasma / Mass Spectrometry is a very sensitive elemental analysis technique that provides very low detection limits for most elements present in a sample.
Many testing methods are employed, one of them being the Microtrac particle size analyzer, which is an analytical instrument which uses laser light diffraction to determine a particle size distribution.
A liquid sample is converted to an aerosol and then atomized by a plasma which provides sufficient energy to promote the electrons of atoms into high energy levels.
Carbon and sulfur analysis by combustion is an analytical technique that allows the simultaneous quantification of carbon and sulfur in metal samples. We also employ Oxygen-Nitrogen Analysis and Hydrogen Analysis.
A solid sample is atomized by an arc-spark discharge which provides sufficient energy to promote the electrons of atoms into high energy levels. As the electrons decay back to their ground energy state light is emitted.
Ion Chromatography (IC) is an analytical technique that permits the dynamic separation and detection of anions in a solution. Aqueous samples are introduced through a sipper onto the column of the IC.
We test to insure manufacturing processes don't leave oils, particulates and other contaminants behind that can compromise your product's performance reliability and reputation. Cleanliness testing for medical devices include total organic carbon analysis.
A primary use for XRD analysis is the identification of crystalline phases for a large variety of powders and thin-film samples. This includes the analysis of corrosion products, ceramics, clays, oxide or nitride coatings and many others.
XRF can quickly (in under two minutes, and usually less than 15 seconds for alloy ID for non-destructive semi-quantitative analysis on a wide variety of materials, including metals, polymers, liquids and soils.
