State-of-the-Art Chemical Testing Laboratory
Our laboratory is equipped with modern instruments that enable our analysts and chemists to perform even the most complex analyses. We conduct both qualitative and quantitative analyses, providing comprehensive information about the samples under test.
By offering complete solutions and support to manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of consumer goods, we assure the quality of their products. Our world-class services are accurate, reliable, error-free, and reproducible.
Materials We Test
Metals & Alloys (Ferrous & Non-Ferrous)
We help you in identifying elemental composition, mechanical properties, and potential contaminants of metals and alloys. Our advanced instruments such as ICP-OES and AAS are used to perform multi-elemental analysis, ensuring precise trace element detection and material verification.
These tests are crucial for industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction, where material integrity is vital.
Minerals & Ores
We analyse minerals and ores to determine their mineralogical composition, trace elements, and purity levels. XRD and ICP-MS play a significant role in identifying and quantifying the various components within these materials. Mining and resource extraction industries use this analysis to evaluate the quality and economic value of their resources.
Ceramics
We provide ceramic chemical testing for helping you understand their structural integrity, chemical composition, and thermal properties. Techniques like XRF and FTIR help in identifying the elemental and molecular structure of ceramic materials. Electronics, aerospace, and manufacturing, where ceramics are used for their insulating and heat-resistant properties, utilise these tests extensively.
Polymers & Plastics
Comprehensive chemical analysis of polymers and plastics is conducted to determine their chemical structure, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. We use FTIR to identify polymer types and their additives, while thermal analysis techniques assess their stability under different conditions. These tests support the packaging, automotive, and consumer goods industries in ensuring product durability and compliance with safety standards.
Detergents & Cleaning Products
Detergents and cleaning products are analysed for their chemical composition, efficacy, and safety. Techniques like ICP-OES and FTIR help in identifying active ingredients and potential contaminants. This analysis is essential for manufacturers to ensure their products are effective and safe for consumer use.
Cosmetics
We test cosmetics for their chemical composition, safety, and regulatory compliance. Advanced instruments like ICP-MS and FTIR are used to detect trace elements and identify organic compounds. This ensures that cosmetic products are safe, free from harmful contaminants, and meet industry standards.
Cement & Admixtures
Cement and admixtures are analysed for their chemical composition, setting time, and strength properties. Techniques such as XRD and ICP-OES help in determining the mineralogical and elemental composition of these materials. This analysis is crucial for the construction industry to ensure the quality and durability of building materials.
Fertilizers
We perform fertilizer chemical analysis to ascertain nutrient content, trace elements, and potential contaminants. Instruments like ICP-OES and AAS are used to quantify essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These tests help the agricultural industry in producing high-quality fertilizers that promote healthy crop growth.
Hard Goods (Toys/Jewellery)
Hard goods, including toys and jewellery, are analysed for their material composition and safety. Techniques like XRF and AAS are used to detect harmful elements like lead and cadmium. This ensures that consumer products are safe, comply with regulations, and are free from toxic substances.
