Our services
At Exeter Analytical, we specialise in comprehensive elemental analysis for basic and industrial chemicals. Our services are vital for:
Chemical Manufacturers:
Ensuring batch consistency, verifying product specifications, and controlling process impurities.
Pharmaceutical & Food Producers:
Validating the purity of excipients, additives, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Specialty Chemical Companies:
Characterizing complex formulations and ensuring specific elemental ratios.
Environmental & Waste Management Firms:
Analysing industrial effluents, sludges, and by-products for hazardous elements and compliance.
Researchers & Developers:
Characterizing novel compounds and understanding reaction mechanisms.
Quality Control & Assurance Teams:
As a laboratory we implement rigorous checks at every stage of the supply chain
Why is Elemental Testing Crucial for Basic & Industrial Chemicals?
Product Purity & Quality Control:
Confirming the exact elemental makeup to ensure the chemical meets its intended specifications and performs reliably in its application.
Impurity Identification:
Detecting and quantifying trace contaminants that could compromise product efficacy, safety, or introduce undesirable side reactions in downstream processes.
Regulatory & Safety Compliance:
Adhering to national and international regulations concerning restricted substances, heavy metals, and environmental discharge limits.
Process Optimisation:
Monitoring elemental concentrations during manufacturing stages to optimize yields, troubleshoot anomalies, and ensure efficient resource utilization.
Hazard Assessment:
Identifying potentially toxic or hazardous elements in industrial chemicals to ensure workplace safety and proper handling.
Environmental Stewardship:
Characterising waste streams and emissions to prevent pollution and comply with environmental protection laws.
Failure & Contamination Investigations:
Pinpointing the source of off-spec batches or unexpected product performance issues by analysing elemental deviations.
We are capable of determining a wide array of elements, from fundamental compositional analysis to the detection of trace impurities. Our processes ensure comprehensive understanding of your chemical samples, whether they are organic, inorganic, or complex mixtures, supporting your quality control, R&D, and compliance needs.
