SERVICES

• Whole rock analysis - total oxide determinations in silicate rocks, clays, soils, coal fly ashes, slags, mineral concentrates, cements, limestones, phosphates, laterites, iron ores, etc.
  
  
• Trace element analysis of geological materials, coal fly ashes and contaminated soils.
  
  
• Semiquant analysis of solids and liquids - multi-element semi-quantitative 'screening' of contaminated soils, impurities in metal alloys, chemical compounds and raw materials.
  
  
• Wear metals analysis of oils and greases - including wear metals in engine oils, refrigeration and hydraulic oils.
  
  
• Physical and chemical analysis of lubricating oils and greases, SOAP (spectrographic oil analysis programme).
  
  
• Organic materials analysis - macro and trace elements in animal tissues, plants, foodstuffs, environmental solids, coals and polymers.
  
  
• Metal alloy analysis - individual trace elements in steels, solders, brasses, zinc and aluminium base alloys.
  
  
• X-ray diffraction analysis is an essential tool for the identification and quantification of minerals, compounds and other crystalline substances.
