You would like to perform a gravimetric analysis on your materials
What is gravimetric analysis ?
Gravimetric analysis is an analytical technique which is used to determine the mass or concentration of a substance by measuring variations of mass.
Variations of mass can be due to chemical reactions, thermal interactions (thermogravimetric analysis) or electrical interactions (electrogravimetry).
This analytical technique is mainly used to determine the purity of a sample whether it be solid or liquid.

Which matrices are suitable for gravimetric analysis?
Gravimetric analysis is particularly suited for solid or liquid matrices that require precise quantification or material characterization. It is commonly applied to:
- Powders and raw materials
- Technical solids and industrial compounds
- Chemical formulations
- Pharmaceutical products
- Cosmetic ingredients and finished products
These matrices benefit from the high sensitivity and reproducibility of gravimetric methods, especially when determining residue content, mineral fractions, or specific material properties.
Industrial applications of gravimetric analysis
In an industrial context, gravimetric analysis is widely used to verify compliance, ensure quality control, and characterize materials with high accuracy. It is particularly relevant in sectors where the precise determination of mass fractions is critical:
- Cosmetics and dermo-cosmetic formulations
- Pharmaceutical industry and raw material qualification
- Polymer, plastic, and composite materials
- Packaging materials and industrial components
- Specialty chemicals and functional additives
These industries rely on gravimetric analysis to evaluate purity levels, quantify mineral residues, control batch consistency, or validate manufacturing processes.
