FTIR or IR is ideal for identification and quantification of organic species even at trace levels.  These include polymers (plastics), paints, binders, adhesives as well as unknown organic compounds, stains and solvents, even when tiny amounts of sample are only available.  Solvent extractive work allows contaminant and delamination investigations coupled with surface analysis techniques.

XRF is a sensitive quantitative bulk inorganic analytical technique for solids and liquids with a high sample throughput.  XRF can be used for unknown materials or powders, raw materials, glasses, building materials, paint filler and pigments, contaminants etc..

AAS is used for quantitative elemental and trace elemental analysis after dissolving the material into solution. It is frequently used for assay of metallic alloys, trace additives and some non-metals after wet chemical preparation.

GC is for chemical deformulation, trace organic and contamination analysis as well as Health and Safety monitoring of organic species.

HPLC is used for analysis of trace organics, ions in liquids and identify and quantify individual compounds in a mixture.  Applications include finding evidence of exposure to corrosive environments, presence of sulphates, nitrates, chlorides, fluorides etc..

UV/Vis is suitable for trace organic analysis, colorimetric and specular reflection measurements coupled with a diverse range of wet chemical preparation techniques.

By ramping temperature and measuring weight TGA monitors chemical and material transformations as compounds degrade or form at different temperatures.

Deformulation of chemical products to determine their composition, how they are manufactured and substitute or improve recipes to stimulate or improve the products performance.

This details the other capabilities and facilities available in the laboratory including Wet Chemical Analysis, deformulation and reverse engineering equipment, Vacuum Leak Testing and particle size measurement instrumentation.

Product and component materials analysis achieved by combining chemical, materials science, failure analysis, reverse engineering and industrial process experience coupled with materials analysis techniques.
