Chemical Analysis

How It Works

Covalent’s chemical testing laboratory is often called on to verify purity of material, detect contaminants that affect the performance of a material, or optimize formulations early in the product development process.

Various types of chemical analysis are suited to specific applications. Spectroscopy techniques provide information on chemical bonding, structure and surface information and can detect trace elements with astounding precision. Chromatography is about separating complex mixtures into their components, to identify concentrations of specific elements.

The field’s breadth is one of its greatest strengths – whether your sample consists of organic or inorganic compounds, volatile or stable, solid, liquid, or gas, Covalent’s scientists can help you identify the appropriate method. Expertise is required to translate the existence (or absence) of a chemical at a given level into operational insight.
