Intertek Polychemlab has extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of elemental analysis. Experts have a wide range of equipment for elemental analysis at their disposal:
- ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy)
- ICP- MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry)
- GFAAS (Graphite Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy)
- FAAS (Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy)
- Hydride system for volatile metals
- Mercury analysis by Cold Vapour
- XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence)
- Preparation techniques – ashing / melting/ microwave digestion / etc.
Analyses can be performed in a wide concentration range (from percent to ppb level) in a large number of sample matrices: raw materials, process liquids, metals, catalysts, filters, deposits, waste streams, plastics/polymers, fibres, packaging materials, food simulants, pharmaceuticals, residues, etc.
Several applications
- Analysis of heavy metals in raw materials and final products
- Quantitative scans for the identification of elements
- Determination of material composition
- Analysis of waste waters, surface waters and soil
- Additives/catalyst residues in polymers
- Analysis of materials that contain silicium with hydrogen fluoride digestion
- Non-destructive analyses of additives, fillers and catalyst residues in polymers with XRF.Non-destructive quantitative analysis in an extensive range of material shapes (amongst other films, plates, powders, granulate, fibres)Specific migration tests of inorganic elements in food simulants
