Our Capabilities
Inorganic Analysis
Identify and estimate concentration of virtually any element in virtually any solid or liquid
Methods
Elemental analysis by:
- XRF
- ICP-OES
- ICP-MS
- AFS.
- AAS.
- Combustion Analysers (CHNOS)
- Chemiluminesence
- Microcoulometry
- Working concentration ranges from percent to ppt
Applications of Inorganic analysis
- Migration studies e.g. inorganics into food simulants.
- Catalyst characterisation and poisoning problems.
- Identifying unique markers e.g. trace elements within a product to defend against copying and legal claims.
- Identification of unknowns e.g competitive materials or unwanted material from production
- Safety assessment e.g. occupational hygiene in the workplace
- Investigation of colour defects in a product e.g. checking for correct polymer additives.
- Potential for elemental speciation
The MSG advantage
- Techniques are complementary to other methods within MSG XRD, XPS and Microscopy
- High sensitivity, high selectivity modern instrumentation
- Not limited by sample type
- Specialist experience and knowledge for crucial sample preparation
- Work to UKAS or GLP standard
- Fast response
- Flexibility
