Services: Instrumentation

---

Through many years of experience within the industry, our team has developed specialised skills in a variety of analytical techniques. 

In addition to qualitative structural elucidation, we offer quantitative analysis of various component mixtures, as well as unknown impurity investigation and many standard (general) analyses.

The analytical techniques employed by our team will vary according to client needs and the type of outcomes desired. Oftentimes a consultative approach at the beginning of a project will help to identify complimentary techniques that are more informative than a standard testing protocol. Our team employ a variety of equipment for accurate characterisation and our fleet of instruments is continuously expanding to meet the needs of our clients and offer the best technology available. We are focused on generating the most complete, best quality results in order to report the full picture when undertaking a project with our clients. 

A representative list of techniques employed by our team is shown below:​

• HPLC with DAD / UV
  • Separate, identify and quantify compounds with a chromophore  
• LC-MSD
  • Addition of mass spectral data to the HPLC resolved compounds of interest improves molecular specificity and detection sensitivity
• LC-Time of Flight (Accurate Mass)
  • For accurate mass characterisation of compounds of interest up to approximately 2000 amu (small molecules)
• GC with FID / TCD
  • Separate, identify and quantify volatile compounds
• GC-MSD
  • Addition of mass spectral data to the GC resolved compounds of interest improves molecular specificity and detection sensitivity
• NMR spectroscopy
  • provides electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional group
