Instrumentation

Chromatography and Separation Sciences

Versatile, Sensitive, and Selective. These words best describe our ability to separate and identify the components of an extensive array of raw materials and products. Whether rudimentary qualitative information or detailed qualitative analyses, we can provide you with the results you need. As you look through our list of capabilities, you'll see that we can provide you with essential information on the chemical composition of everything from surfactants and inhibitors to solvents, extenders and the fully formulated products themselves.
Applications and Analysis
  • Competitive Product Characterization
  • Failure Analysis
  • Analysis of Contaminants Defects/ Impurities/ Trace Metals
  • Materials QC/QA for production support, analysis of supplier materials, etc
  • Compositional Analysis- binders, pigments solvents, additives
  • Quantitative and Qualitative Organic Analysis
  • Compositional Heterogeneity Analysis, MW, MWD
  • Particle Size Distribution and Statistical Analysis
Instrumental Capability
  • Gas Chromatography:Thermal Conductivity/ Flame Ionization Detectors
  • GC/ MS

  • GPC-Viscometer
  • Evaporative GPC-Transform (with IR)

Spectroscopy and Microscopy

Our core skills in spectroscopy and microscopy will enable you to better support your product's needs from product conceptualization to field support for your customers. These techniques identify what's there and help you 'see' where a given component resides on or within a product matrix. Whether you need detailed information on chemical structures or basic compositional analysis, our skilled analysts can provide you with the answers you need. Please take a moment to study the tools and analyses described below. In all likelihood, you'll find several applications that will benefit your product, manufacturing, or customer needs.
