Inorganic Analysis
Inorganic trace chemical analysis measures trace concentration of elements.
Intertek provides inorganic analytical laboratory testing capabilities and techniques to test and measure inorganic elements in solid and liquid samples. Trace level analytical measurement of inorganic elements can range from ppm to ppb and ppt levels.
Inorganic elemental analysis resources:
- XRF
- ICP Anlaysis
- ICP-OES
- ICP-MS
- AFS
- AAS
- Combustion Analysers (CHNOS)
- Chemiluminesence
- Microcoulometry
- Working concentration ranges from percent to ppt
Inorganic trace analysis:
- Elemental Trace Analysis
- Trace Metals Analysis
- Trace Metals in Petroleum
- Chemical Trace Analysis
- Contamination Detection and Analysis
- Food contact migration studies e.g. inorganics into food simulants
- Catalyst characterisation and catalyst poisoning problems
- Identifying unique markers, trace elements within a product to defend against copying and legal claims
- Identification of unknowns, competitive materials, unwanted material from production
- Safety assessment, occupational hygiene in the workplace
- Investigation of colour defects in a product, checking for correct polymer additives
- Potential for elemental speciation
Inorganic analysis advantages:
- 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 industry and government regulatory standards, as required
- Fast response and flexibility
