Microanalysis Laboratory Denver Colorado USA

Microanalysis laboratory is an analytical setup which has the necessary equipments and facilities to perform elemental analysis for meeting the analytical needs of universities, industries and research institutions.

What are the elements that can be analysed in a Microanalysis laboratory?

1. Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen
2. Elements from the halogens family namely, chlorine, bromine, Iodine and Fluorine
3. Sulphur, Phosphorous.
4. Synthetic organic chemicals.
5. Natural products.
6. Coal and coke
7. Pharmaceutical, industrial samples.

Analysis of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen
Analysis of C, H, N is done using the Perkin-Elmer 2400 series II Analyzer. The sample is converted into the gaseous phase using combustion technique within the temperature range of 950-1000⁰C. The analyser system separates the gaseous products using chromatographic method. The concentration of the gases in the combustion products are accurately estimated by correlating their thermal conductivity measurements. The analyser has microprocessor based control, and built-in diagnostic software to assure an efficient performance.

Determination of halogens
Estimation of halogens is performed using the oxygen-flask combustion method. The organic samples are subjected to combustion in the oxygen-flask and the evolved halogens are estimated by potentiometric titration method in the Titroprocessor and Ion chromatography analysis using a Dionex IC system.

Determination of sulphur
Estimation of sulphur is carried out using the oxygen-flask combustion method and followed by gravimetric titration and Ion chromatography analysis using a Dionex IC system.

Determination of phosphorus
Determination of phosphorus is carried out after the decomposition of the sample, followed by spectrophotometric analysis or via oxygen-flask combustion method and Ion chromatography analysis.

Accuracy
C, H, N weight percentages are accuracy range of within ± 0.3%, for a pure sample. Halogens, S and P weight percentage results can be estimated with an accuracy of ± 0.5%.

Sample details
Provide maximum possible details of content. Write the formula and chemical structure of the sample along with your name, contact number, e-mail address etc.

Sample requirements:
Not less than 5 mg of the sample packed in a sealed vial is to be submitted at the Microanalysis Laboratory for C, H, and N analysis.
