Trace Analysis Testing Service

Our Trace Analysis Testing Service detects and measures trace amounts of chemicals that are in materials and products. Testing for chemicals within materials is an important part of problem solving and product development, as certain chemicals can change the way a material reacts in various states.

By using trace analysis techniques, the minimum detection of chemicals can go into the parts per million and parts per billion, dependent upon the material samples and the analytical techniques used. Using state-of-the-art equipment, trace analysis can also include complex sample extraction and preparation along with target and screening analysis.

The majority of analyses that require a measurement using ICP-OES will fall within the category of trace analysis. Trace analysis techniques can be used on a variety of finished products and sample materials including: chemicals, polymers, plastics, metals and consumer products.
