Metal Analysis Laboratory
Laboratory specialised in the analysis of metallic impurities in pharmaceutical products and other matrices, using atomic absorption spectrometry, atomic emission spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry techniques. It has consolidated experience in carrying out analytical studies for pharmaceutical companies sector in a GMP environment.
Inorganic elemental analysis techniques for trace metal conten determination.
- Analytical techniques:
- Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS).
- Atomic emission spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, in both cases (ICP-OES, ICP-MS).
- Study of the elemental concentration and distribution of metallic nanoparticles in cells, using the SC-ICP-MS technique.
- Types of services:
- Trace metals determination in environmental, pharmaceutical, food and chemical sector samples in general.
- Commissioning, optimisation and validation of analytical methods with ISO 9001 and GMP quality systems.
- Analysis of samples and analytical research studies.
- Characterisation of metallic nanoparticles by the SP-ICP-MS technique.
