Oil and Petrochemicals
Throughout the process of drilling for oil, refining petroleum and manufacturing products, the measurement of volatile, semi-volatile and metal components in petrochemicals is important in laboratories, quality control and process monitoring.
Petrochemical testing can extend to trace and ultra-trace level analysis, including purity and component, trace composition, trace contamination, quality control, troubleshooting, and other chemical analysis. Our chemical laboratory can analyze petrochemical products for:
- Elemental analysis like aluminum, silica, vanadium, copper and iron Samples that are tested include a wide range of petroleum products from gasoline, diesel to asphalt and bitumen. Others samples include a variety of plastics and polymers derived from petrochemicals.
- Metal contamination such as aluminum, lead and iron
- Chlorides/chlorine
- Sulfur content
Measurement Types
Particle Size Distribution
Particle size analysis in the range 0.01-3500 microns. For nanoparticle analysis see dedicated section.
Morphology
Morphological analysis of particles in the range 0.5-10000 microns (size, shape and transparency of particles). Integrated Raman chemical analysis with MDRS (Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopy).
Nanoparticle Characterization
Size, concentration and zeta potential anlysis of nano-systems using light scattering techniques such as DLS, ELS and NTA techniques.
Rheology, Viscosity and Powder Flowability
Viscosity measurement and visco-elastic properties characterization of liquid dispersions, complex fluids and semi-solid materials.
Stability Analysis
Rapid and objective quantification of concentrated dispersion real stability using Multiple Light Scattering.
High Pressure Homogenizing
High pressure homogenizing technique to produce stable nanoemulsions, reduce particle size or molecular weight of polysaccharides, nanoencapsulation, de-agglomeration, etc.
Exosomes and EVs Characterization
Multiparametric characterization of exosomes and EVs including Sizing, Concentration per size range, Count, Phenotyping, Cargo, Integrity, Purity, etc.
Biomolecular Interactions
Biomolecular interactions of proteins, antibodies, nucleic acids, lipids and other biomolecules using ITC Microcalorimetry or BioLayer Interferometry BLI techniques.
Protein Aggregate Analysis
SEC is the standard method for protein aggregate analysis. The choice of pore size is related to the size of the molecule to be separated.
Elemental Analysis
XRF provides both qualitative and quantitative information on a wide variety of sample types. It can quantify elements from beryllium (Be) up to americium (Am) in concentrations from 100% down to sub-ppm level.
