Analytical Techniques - Chemical Analysis
The combination of state-of-the-art instrumentation and expert analysts at Ceram guarantees optimum problem solving capability using these techniques:
XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry) - major, minor and trace bulk elemental analysis of inorganic materials.
ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) - trace analysis of inorganic materials, down to parts per million (ppm) or less.
IC (Ion Chromatography) - analysis of liquids/solutions for anions such as halides and sulphates.
GC (Gas Chromatography) - major organic compound analysis as gases or volatile components.
GCMS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry) - trace organic compound analysis as gases or volatile components.
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis) - identification of compounds and chemical functionality in the near-surface region of materials.
SEM/EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Analysis) - microstructural analysis, fault diagnosis, imaging and elemental analysis of small areas of solid materials.
XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) - mineralogical analysis of solid materials for phase determination.
GPC (Gel Permeability Chromatography) - measurement of molecular weight distribution.
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) - physical, chemical, electronic and structural information from organic liquids and solids.
