UWS test fights organic contaminants

The FTIR method allows the user to locate the contaminated area or substance and then to focus the spectroscopic analysis on the area of interest. Once the type of contaminant has been established, the search for the source can begin, typically involving similar analysis of materials from potential sources. Other analytical techniques may also be used in contamination studies including scanning electron microscopy with EDX elemental analysis, which is useful in the study of inorganic substances.

The CPCA has been providing scientific analysis to industry since 1994, supporting product development and providing research support and analytical chemistry testing.

Dr Stephen Gallagher of CPCA said: “Along with routine testing services, we are a resource for troubleshooting product emergencies, investigating processing failures or foreign materials.”
