Your needs : to inspect and analyze the chemical substances that make up your products

What is analytical chemistry ?

Analytical chemistry refers to a whole field of chemistry aimed at analyzing and characterizing a product or a substance in order to understand its properties. Analytical chemistry can use qualitative chemical analysis (identification and characterization of a compound) or quantitative analysis (measurement of the concentration or dosage of a compound).

Where can a chemical product be analysed?

To guarantee the quality, safety and conformity of your products, it is essential to carry out chemical analyses in a specialised analytical chemistry laboratory. FILAB uses state-of-the-art equipment and proven methodologies to identify, quantify and characterise the substances present in your samples. As an independent laboratory, FILAB can help you analyse your chemical products, whether raw materials, formulations, residues or impurities. Using advanced techniques (chromatography, spectrometry, microscopy, etc.), we provide you with reliable results that comply with current regulations.

Why is analytical chemistry used ?

Mostly used as part of quality control, as part of compliance studies following a product failure (trace residues, discoloration, odor problems…), analytical chemistry has taken an important place in various industrial fields. Identifying toxic residue or an impurity in abnormal proportions can lead to a momentary cease in production or in some cases can lead to a product being called back after being put on the market.

Analytical chemistry can also be used to improve the performance of a substance or product by studying its behavior when subjected to various exterior phenomena (temperature, light…) 

Regularly inspecting the consistency of products has become essential ; laboratories specialized in analytical chemistry such as FILAB are here to assist you with these endeavors : to ensure your product’s quality, performance and safety.

FAQ

What is analytical chemistry?

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry whose aim is to identify and quantify the chemical compounds present in a substance. It includes techniques and methods for analysing the chemical composition of samples, whether for qualitative applications (determining the components) or quantitative applications (measuring the quantities of these components).

What analysis techniques are used in analytical chemistry?

In analytical chemistry, various techniques are used, such as spectrometry, chromatography, titration and other methods, to obtain precise information about chemical substances.

Why should manufacturers use analytical chemistry?

Manufacturers may need to use analytical chemistry in a number of different situations:

  • Quality control: analytical chemistry is used to ensure that raw materials, intermediate products and finished products meet the required quality standards. It ensures regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction.
  • Product development: this discipline is essential for the research and development of new chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. It is used to characterise components and optimise formulations.
    In a manufacturing process, it aims to monitor chemical reactions and process parameters. It aims to improve the efficiency, safety and profitability of industrial production.
  • Safety of pharmaceutical products: in the pharmaceutical sector, analytical chemistry is crucial for verifying the purity, safety and efficacy of products.
  • Materials control: industries using metals, polymers or composite materials can use analytical chemistry to guarantee their quality and performance.
What are the analytical chemistry methods?

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry dedicated to the analysis of chemical substances. It is used to identify the chemical composition of samples and measure their quantity.

Different methods are used to analyse substances, including mass spectrometry, chromatography, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The results obtained are invaluable for a variety of disciplines, including medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture and scientific research.

What properties are measured in analytical chemistry?

In analytical chemistry, a variety of properties are measured and analysed. They include the concentration of molecules in a sample, the composition of the substance, its structure, molecular weight, pH, density and electrical conductivity.

These properties are essential for understanding the nature of a substance and carrying out accurate quantitative and qualitative analyses. Analytical chemistry is therefore an important branch of chemistry with applications in many fields, from the production of medicines to environmental protection and the analysis of food products.

What are the applications of analytical chemistry?

Analytical chemistry is a fundamental discipline in chemistry. Laboratory analysis is used to determine the precise chemical composition of samples, whether liquid, solid or gaseous, in quantitative or qualitative terms.

Analytical chemistry has a wide range of applications, from the characterisation of raw materials to the detection of pollutants or pathogens. The industries using these laboratory analyses are extremely diverse: cosmetics manufacturers, drug producers, water treatment companies, and many others. Analytical chemistry plays a crucial role in many areas, contributing to product quality and safety.
