This Section provides an illustrative list of example pieces of work LPD Lab Services has carried out since it began doing 3rd Party work in earnest in 2003.  Multiple links are provided to other areas of the website to help customers navigate.

Particle / Contamination Identification

• SEM/EDX & optical microscopy for chemical and physical characterisation of particles.
• Identification of Unknown Particles.
• Isolation & determination of fine product contaminants.
• Type matching of contaminants to solve processing product quality issues
• SEM particle counting and characterisation of pharmaceuticals and fillers, identifying active contaminants.
• Particle size analysis by SEM / EDX, optical microscopy and image analysis.
• Identification of particulate contaminant causing blockages in mesh filters and mist generation systems.
• Analysis of particles on filters.
• Paint, adhesive, sealant and gasket filler fingerprinting.
