Reverse Engineering in Laboratory
You want to determine the composition of a product by the reverse engineering method.
Reverse engineering, also called deformation or reverse engineering, is a method to determine the chemical composition of a complex mixture using various chemical analysis.
In addition to providing a better understanding of a material, reverse engineering allows for a better understanding of structural issues but also its defective quality. Thus, the objective of reverse engineering can, among other things, be to improve the performance of a material and/or to better target a new supplier.
This application concerns different types of products, formulas and materials: paints, metals, alloys, varnishes, plastics, cosmetics, aqueous formulations, composites…
The method of successful reverse engineering lies in a good knowledge of the targeted application and the implementation of rigorous analytical methods to characterize the composition of organic and mineral fractions.
FILAB supports you in your reverse engineering efforts
Reverse engineering can be used to meet various needs such as:
Our services
Analyze and determine the composition of an unknown mixture
Check compliance with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or a technical data sheet
Compare the composition of several products (double-sourcing or multi-sourcing)
Analyze and identify a pollution or an impurity
Moreover, reverse engineering involves a diverse range of techniques, some of them highly specialized, including:
our resources
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR analysis)
Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LCMS)
ICP-MS
Thanks to its experience and its state-of-the-art analytical facilities (2100m² analytical laboratory), FILAB laboratory can assist you with your most complex reverse engineering analysis needs, whatever the nature of your sample: aqueous solution, powder, polymer, ceramic, metallic material…
