Quality testing and chemical analysis services helping scientific, technology and manufacturing companies compete in the global market.
Avomeen’s Materials Testing Labs analyze samples of all classes for identification, purity, properties, impurities, and more. The objective of material characterization is often to understand the chemistry of the major and minor components in a substance. For Manufacturing Product Failure cases, an unknown contaminant is usually the main cause of the failure. In Chemical Product Development cases, clients often utilize Avomeen’s services to identify components of a competing product or discontinued raw material.
Avomeen scientists have the education and experience to identify and characterize unknowns through a variety of analytical techniques and interpretations.
Avomeen’s organic and inorganic materials testing capabilities include:
Our laboratory has the capability to analyze a wide variety of compounds for identification, molecular structure, molecular weight, and general properties:
We can also provide analysis to determine thermal and mechanical properties. Once the testing is complete our scientists interpret the laboratory results, and will provide a meaningful, high-quality report to the client.
Industry: Food and Beverages
Problem: Slimy material on beer bottles
Solution: A beer bottle manufacturer wanted us to identify the chemical nature of a slimy material found on their beer bottles. These bottles had been returned by the distributor. Initial research indicated the material to be a detergent. The material was carefully removed and analyzed by Raman Spectroscopy. The spectrum of the unknown was compared with thousands of spectra of detergents and cleaners. A perfect match was found with a commercial cleaning agent. The problem was traced to a failed cleaning system in the bottle filling plant.
