Analytical Services

NDE Analytical uses the following techniques to provide a wide variety of problem-solving services.
Services offered using GC/MS:
  • Analysis of gas and liquid samples, including extracts of solids using a variety of organic solvents.
  • Analysis of organic volatiles and semi-volatiles in petroleum products, lubricants, industrial materials, and many others.
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of contaminants at sub-parts per billion (ppb) levels.
  • Identification of unknown compounds using extensive digitized mass spectra reference libraries (Wiley and NIST).
  • Method development and literature search.
Services Offered Using FTIR Spectroscopy:
  • Identification of unknown materials in a solid, liquid, or gas form.
  • NIR and overtones analysis for moisture and other OH and NH bonds.
  • Recording fingerprint (spectrum) of an unknown material and matching it to that of a known reference material.
  • Identification of components in complex mixtures using specialized software.
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis using liquid cells.
  • Identification of surface contaminants using ATR and other reflectance attachments.
  • Method development and literature search.
Services Offered Using HPLC/GPC:
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of polar and non-polar organic compounds.
