Spectrophotometry
– Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry ICP-OES, for quantitative determination
of major and trace elements. This technique has an extremely wide application field and it can be
applied to the determination of analites in a several types of matrixes, both organics and inorganics.
– UV/UV-VIS Spectrophotometer, for quantitative determination of chromophore analites. The major
application field is that of analysis of water-based samples.
– FT-IR Spectrophotometer (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), for the identification of organic
substances.
– Cuvette analysis Spectrophotometers.
Ionic Chromatography
– Ionic chromatograph (IC) coupled with conductivity detector and suppressor in order to determine
anionic and cationic species.
Mass Spectrometry
– Mass spectrometer GC-MS (Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry). This technique is mostly used
to quali- and quantitatively determine organic compounds, also in extremely low concentration. The
high sensitivity makes it suitable in several fields, especially in the environmental one. The technique
can be applied with liquid, head space or thermal desorption injection systems.
Gas Chromatography
– Gas chromatograph armed with FID (Flame Ionization Detector) and ECD (Electron Capture Detector)
detectors and provided of autosampler injection system. The technique is suitable for the
determination of hydrocarbons (both C<12 and C>12) and VOCs in several matrixes.
– Gas chromatograph armed with TCD (Thermal Conductivity Detector) detector suitable for analites
determination in gaseous matrixes.
Liquid Chromatography
– HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) coupled with UV/Vis (Ultra Violet/Visible) and RI
(Refractive Index) detectors for the separation and the quantitative determination of liquid samples.
The instrument is suitable for aldehydes, isocyanates, phtalates, amines, etc. determination especially
in environmental samples.
Elemental Analysis
– CHNS Analyzer for the determination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur in organic/inorganic
solid samples.
Thermic analysis
– This technique allows to measure simultaneously the weight loss (TGA) and the heat flow (DTA) of a
substance which is heated from room temperature to a maximum of 1500°C.
Laser Granulometry
– DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) for the determination of the particle size of samples with diameter
between 0.3nm and 10µm.
– PSD (Particle Size Distribution) for the determination of the particle size of samples with diameter
greater than 10µm. The samples is suspended in water/solvent and kept in unrest during the measure.
Physical and chemical parameters determination
