Chemical Analysis and Analytical Chemistry Services

What we analyse

Our analytical chemistry laboratory works with a wide range of matrices and materials. Depending on your task, we can perform studies on:

• raw materials and reagents – inorganic and organic chemicals, solvents, additives;

• finished products – industrial chemicals, formulated products, coatings, fuels, lubricants, and consumer goods;

• metals and alloys – base metals, specialty alloys, corrosion products, and scale;

• polymers and elastomers – plastics, rubbers, packaging materials, composite systems;

• coatings and paints – liquid and powder coatings, primers, lacquers, and protective layers;

• glass and ceramics – technical and construction glass, ceramic components and fillers;

• fibrous materials – textiles, technical fabrics, paper, and cardboard;

• environmental and process samples – process water, industrial effluents, soils, air particulates, and residues.

For each category, we select appropriate analytical techniques to obtain accurate and defensible data.

Our analytical methods and instrumentation

QUANT operates a comprehensive suite of modern analytical instruments, comparable to those used in leading forensic and industrial laboratories. Depending on the sample and the question, we may employ:

• Chromatographic techniques – gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (HPLC/LC), and related methods for separation and quantification of organic and some inorganic components.

• Spectroscopic methods – atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, infrared (IR), and Raman spectroscopy for qualitative and quantitative structural analysis.

• Mass spectrometry – in combination with chromatographic techniques for detailed identification of compounds, degradation products, and contaminants.

• Elemental analysis – techniques for determining major, minor, and trace elements in metals, alloys, fuels, catalysts, and environmental samples.

• Thermal analysis – TG/DTG, DSC and related methods to investigate stability, phase transitions and decomposition behaviour of materials.

• Microscopy and surface analysis – optical and digital microscopy to study morphology, defects, inclusions, and layer structures.

All instruments are maintained, calibrated and, where applicable, registered in the State Register of Measuring Instruments and subject to regular metrological verification. This ensures measurement traceability and the reproducibility of results.

Types of results and documentation

Based on the agreed scope of work, QUANT can provide:

• test reports documenting the analysis methods used, measured values, measurement uncertainty, and comparison with specified limits;

• certificates of analysis (CoA) confirming that a batch of material meets defined specifications for composition and key properties;

• comparative assessments of different materials or suppliers, including side-by-side tables and technical commentary;

• expert opinions for forensic, contractual, or regulatory purposes, integrating analytical data with professional interpretation;

• method development and validation protocols where new or customised analytical procedures are required for your products.

All documentation is prepared in a clear, structured format suitable for internal quality systems, customer communication and, where necessary, legal proceedings.

Applications and industries we support

Our chemical analysis services are used by clients from various sectors, including:

• chemical and petrochemical industry – feedstock control, process monitoring, product certification;

• coatings, polymers and materials manufacturing – formulation optimisation, failure analysis, competitive benchmarking;

• oil, gas and energy – fuel quality control, lubricants testing, deposit and residue analysis;

• metallurgy and engineering – alloy verification, corrosion investigations, surface treatment control;

• environmental and regulatory – monitoring of emissions, effluents and contaminated sites;

• forensic and legal – independent chemical analysis of questioned samples as part of broader forensic examinations.

If your industry is not listed, our experts can advise whether our methods are suitable for your specific task.

Why clients choose QUANT for chemical analysis

QUANT positions itself as more than a routine testing lab. Clients value our services because we offer:

• Independent multidisciplinary expertise – our chemists and forensic experts have many years of experience in analytical chemistry, materials science and forensic investigations.

• Advanced analytical infrastructure – a broad range of instruments and methods allows us to handle both standard and highly specialised tasks.

• Transparent, defensible results – we clearly describe methods, limitations and measurement uncertainty so that results can withstand technical and legal scrutiny.

• Problem-solving approach – we focus on answering the underlying technical question (e.g. “why did the product fail?”, “are these materials equivalent?”), not just producing numbers.

• Confidential handling of client information – all samples and data are processed under strict confidentiality and documented chain-of-custody where required.

How to request chemical analysis from QUANT

Чёткий процесс снижает барьер для обращения и выглядит профессионально.

To start working with us, follow these steps:

1. Contact us via the web form, email or phone with a brief description of the sample, the problem to be solved and any applicable specifications or standards.

2. Our specialists review the information, clarify details as needed, and propose an analytical approach, indicating methods, approximate timelines, and budget.

3. You send samples to our laboratory or arrange courier collection. If required, we provide guidance on sampling, packaging, and chain-of-custody documentation.

4. Laboratory analysis. We perform the agreed tests, record all procedures, and conduct internal quality control checks.

You receive a formal report or certificate of analysis. Our experts are available to discuss the results, provide clarifications, and, where appropriate, suggest next steps or additional studies.
