Determination of the Water content of a Sample - Karl Fischer

The Karl Fischer titration is a sensitive method to quantify the % water in various types of samples.

Elemental Analysis

Mass percentage (% m/m) quantification of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and oxygen (O) present in a sample.

Identification and Quantification of Ions

Quantitative and qualitative determination of ions (anions and cations).

Identification and/or Quantification of Compounds - Chromatographic Methods

Separation of the various components of a mixture, with the aim of identifying and quantifying these components.

Identification and/or Quantification of Compounds - Spectroscopic Techniques

Spectroscopic analysis methods consist of measuring the amount of radiation emitted or absorbed by molecules.

Rheology and Viscosity Analysis

Study of the deformational behavior and the flow of matter subjected to stress, under certain thermodynamic conditions over a period of time. It includes properties such as: elasticity, viscosity and plasticity.

Stability and Particle Size Tests

Determination of particle sizes (from 3 nm to 5000 μm). Aggregation, agglomeration and flocculation studies.

Studies of Surface Properties

Determination of surface chemical and physical properties.

Thermal Analysis

Study of the behavior of materials as a function of time or temperature, when heated, cooled or kept at a constant temperature.
