Residue, debris & 'unknowns': analysis & characterisation
Chiralabs can offer a wide variety of characterisation studies and investigations of the constitution of residues, debris and 'unknown' materials using a range of spectroscopic, physicochemical and chromatographic techniques (including circular dichroism analysis, UV Visible NIR absorption analysis, fluorescence analysis, FTIR analysis, FTIR-ATR analysis, Raman analysis, HPLC analysis, ion chromatography, elemental analysis, electron microscopy, NMR, GC-MS, etc.). We have considerable expertise in investigating complex mixtures and deducing likely sources and scenarios by which they came about. We have experience in a diverse range of materials including fire retardants, cladding, high-end metals, optical components, construction materials, petrochemicals, consumer goods, consumer healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, food-stuffs, paint, varnishes and historical artefacts:
- Component chemical identification
- Microscopy & spatially resolved elemental analysis
- Degradation, contamination & fault analysis
- Leachables
- Physical properties
- Reference spectra & data
We routinely work to high accuracy with microsample quantities, using leading-edge research-grade instrumentation.
