You want to measure iron in your products
First of all, iron is an element widely used in chemistry and present in many metal alloys.
Consequently, it is present in many products but because of its metal quality, it can be dangerous if present in too large quantities in products intended for humans such as cosmetics or vaccines.
Iron can therefore be measured in all types of matrix: mascara, injectables, swabs, pigments, liquid catalysts, etc.
Moreover, the precise determination of iron is carried out by elemental analysis using ICP-MS or ICP-AES techniques.
Therefore, only a laboratory with state-of-the-art analytical equipment including ICP-MS and ICP-AES analysers is able to carry out the determination of iron reliably.
