Heavy metal analysis in fine chemistry

First of all, fine chemistry is a division of the chemical industry that synthesises products for specific needs (pesticides, pigments, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals) and with low production volumes.

Fine chemistry produces complex molecules with a carbon structure of dozens of atoms from other synthetic molecules and involves several steps and extensive final purification. The low tonnage is compensated by a high added value of the final product.

Heavy metals are substances subject to very strict regulations due to their toxicity. Thus, in the context of quality control or the marketing of fine chemicals, the support of a laboratory competent in the analysis of heavy metals in fine chemicals is indispensable.
