Elemental Analysis Laboratory
Analysis of the element composition of chemical compounds is an essential
aspect of chemical characterization.
The
laboratory accommodates a wide variety of sample types, such as residues from
incinerator plants, microelectronic components, environmental samples, pharmaceutical products and precursors, petroleum samples and biological samples. New alloys
and polymers from materials R&D and unknown compounds extend the spectrum of work in this vital facility.
