The equipment allows range extension for C and N in carbides and nitrides. We have developed techniques for the analysis of boron by neutron transmission where dissolution methods have proven difficult. The laboratory retains the capability to carry out several classical wet methods of analysis. We have a range of certified sieves for particle size distribution determination. For surface area we offer the BET nitrogen gas absorption method, which can also give pore size distributions and pore volume parameters for mesoporous material.
Atomic absorption is used for minor and trace level analysis.
Our facilities include both flame and flameless systems.
