For every client, we provide trustworthy results of the exact composition of a given material. Powered by some of the most effective equipment on the market, chemical analyses can range from a series of procedures that examine a single analyte to tests that scan for hundreds of different analytes at the same time. 

Quality Control Testing and Release 

The Analytical Chemistry Testing Lab at IALR performs Quality Control (QC) testing and QC release for companies in a variety of industries worldwide. Clients provide products and samples for regular quality control testing. After examination and verification, the Chemistry team provides a certificate of analysis that validates product claims, making it more valuable to the consumer.

Chemistry Services for Every Client

We’re willing to work closely with our clients in developing methodologies and targeted analyses that address their needs.

Methodology Development 

Methodology development is one of the IALR Analytical Chemistry Lab’s distinguishing capabilities. Working closely with clients, the chemistry team can create processes and series of tests for given materials and client needs. 

There is not a single test or process that works for the extraction of or analysis of every material, which is why the chemistry team often develops individual methods for different clients.
