# Laboratory analysis and inspections of chemical baths

## Your needs: to control the quality of your baths following a process failure or as part of an optimization effort

Chemical baths are processes that consist of immersing parts, often metal, in a hot alkaline bath or a non-chlorinated acid bath (depending on the type of traces or contaminants to be removed).

Used in surface treatment processes or for cleaning parts, the performance of these chemical baths depends on their quality (chemical composition, contamination or deposits, chemical reaction, compatibility with materials, etc.).

Regular monitoring of chemical baths at different stages of use is therefore necessary to optimize the quality of your materials and surface treatments.

## Our solutions: provide you with our expertise and technical resources for the control of your chemical baths

Whatever the application of your baths (cleaning bath, [surface treatment bath](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/analyse/laboratoire-caracterisation-des-materiaux/analyse-bain-traitement-surface/), industrial bath, [metallurgical bath](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/metallurgical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-of-analysis-and-control-of-metallurgical-baths.md), [tin bath](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-failures/tin-bath-analysis-and-control-laboratory.md) …), FILAB provides you with its expertise and state-of-the-art analytical equipment to support you in monitoring your baths.

The FILAB Laboratory is notably involved in the following analytical services:

- [Search for contaminants and contamination in baths](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-sem-scanning-electron-microscopy/laboratory-analysis-contaminants.md)
- [Identification of deposits or impurities](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-detection-identification-impurities.md) in industrial baths
- [Analysis of the chemical composition of new or used baths](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/analyse/analysis-chimiques/)
- [Stability study](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/stability-testing-medications-and-active-ingredients.md) on baths
- Measurement of acids or metallic elements in a bath
- [Particle analysis](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/expertise/laboratoire-analysis-particules-contamination/)
- analysis performed by ICP-MS and AES, GC-MS, CLI, HPLC, etc.
