Services
I. Sample Preparation
We attempt to advance scientific knowledge and produce meaningful research outcomes through the use of modern instrumentation
Sample Preparation & Pretreatment
Ensuring sample integrity and reliable analytical performance
We provide comprehensive sample preparation and pretreatment services designed to support a wide range of analytical applications. Our laboratory performs sample handling and pretreatment for environmental and geological samples, including soil, water, sediments, fuels and other complex matrices. Using optimized protocols for extraction, purification, conditioning and sample processing, we ensure compatibility with advanced analytical instrumentation and analytical requirements.
Careful preparation procedures enhance analytical sensitivity, accuracy and repeatability
II. Physicochemical Characterization & Qualitative/Quantitative Analysis
Equipped with modern analytical systems, the laboratory provides services for the physicochemical characterization of samples and the qualitative and quantitative analysis of their chemical composition. Sample analyses are performed for the determination of hydrocarbons and the assessment of overall pollution levels, as well as for the study of gaseous samples. In parallel, applications related to the characterization and evaluation of catalysts and oxides are supported, serving research needs in the field of energy. Finally, through the use of an isotopes analysis system, the laboratory offers the capability for stable isotope investigations.
