Differential scanning calorimetry is a process widely used for both quality testing and research in different industries. DSC is a technique to measure the difference in heat required to increase the temperature of a sample versus a known reference sample. Using this technique, researchers and scientists are able to gather critical data before, during and […]

Ion Chromatography Application: Product Cleanliness Testing
Testing the cleanliness of a product after the manufacturing process is critical. Confirming a product is free from ionic contaminants insures quality and leads to fewer failures when products ship out to market. To guarantee the ionic cleanliness of products after manufacturing, a process called Ion Chromatography can be employed. The IC analysis process measures […]
Using GC/MS to Analyze Unknown Compounds In Manufacturing
During the manufacturing process unknown compounds may be left in a product. GC/MS is used by manufacturers to detect residual solvents trapped in a product either from the production line or cleaning process, trace levels of impurities in liquids, or atmospheric impurities in a sealed environment. The detection of these foreign compounds left behind may […]
Using ESCA for Chemical Analysis of Stainless Steel
The resistance of stainless steels to rust or corrosion is accomplished by passivation of the alloy to create a chromium-rich oxide layer. The ESCA technique is an excellent tool to monitor the quality of the stainless steel passivation layer. To understand the overall ESCA method and how it helps manufacturing needs, please refer to the […]
