Chemical analysis

FTICRMS-Will BurkittWithout the kinds of chemical analysis for which LGC is internationally renowned,  the world’s health, welfare, quality of life and environment would be at greater risk. Continuing advances in analytical technologies have been driven by an awareness amongst society and regulators of the need to determine many different types of chemical analysis at extremely low levels.

LGC’s considerable expertise is invaluable in exploiting the capabilities of the most modern and sensitive preparation and detection technologies. We offer chemical analysis of a variety of different compounds in many complex matrices including soil, body fluids, foodstuffs and environmental samples. We tailor the application of this data to the individual needs of our customers, thus providing the high quality data and advice they require.

We offer a wide range of analytical methods at competitive prices, with accreditation to UKAS (ISO17025), BS EN ISO 9001 & GLP  where appropriate, with response and turnaround times to suit customer requirements for:

  • Small organic molecule analysis - Techniques include LC  and GC   with a full range of separation and detection options.
  • Inorganic compound analysis - Techniques include ICP -OES, ICP - MS , electrochemistry, CHNSO.
  • Macromolecule analysis - Techniques include NMR , FTIR , NIR, DSC, GPC and LC  with a full range of detection options.
