Chemical analysis laboratory

There are several methods of chemical analysis testing that can be performed in a laboratory, but four common methods are:

1. Spectroscopy: This is a technique that uses light absorption or emission to identify compounds and measure their concentrations. There are several types of spectroscopy, such as UV-Vis, infrared, and atomic absorption spectroscopy.
   
   
2. Chromatography: This method separates a mixture into its individual components based on their interaction with a stationary phase and mobile phase. Common types of chromatography include gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and ion chromatography.
   
   
3. Electrochemistry: This method involves measuring the electrical properties of a sample, such as its potential or conductivity. Examples of electrochemical techniques include voltammetry and potentiometry.
   
   
4. Gravimetric analysis: This method involves the separation and weighing of a compound to determine its quantity and purity. This method is often used to analyze samples that do not respond well to other analytical techniques.

Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of method depends on the specific analytical problem being addressed.

There are many sectors of activity that may require the services of a chemical analysis laboratory. Filab specializes in providing analytical services to a variety of industries such as aeronautics and defense, the automotive industry, metallurgy, luxury, plastics, the nuclear industry and the glass industry.
