Analysing rare earth elements in the laboratory
Why have the rare earth elements in your raw materials or finished products analysed?
What are rare earths?
Rare earths are a group of three metals comprising the following elements: lanthanides (15 elements), scandium and yttrium. Have the rare earth elements analysed
What are their applications?
These metals have unique properties that make them valuable in many industrial applications. They are found in magnets, batteries, LED lighting, catalysts, display screens and electronic devices.
