Analytical Capabilities

As we all known, analytical techniques and testing provide the data required to make critical decisions during R&D, drive product improvement or meet regulatory compliance requirements. Alfa Chemistry is an integrated company with research and development, production and service. Good analytical capabilities are an essential tool in our product development, process optimization and production, as well as an essential resource for serving our customers. Therefore, we pay special attention to this area and now we have mastered a comprehensive and strong analytical capability by a large number of modern analytical instruments. Please read on to learn more about Alfa Chemistry's analytical capabilities.

Analytical Instruments

Analytical instruments are essential tools in modern analytical chemistry. Alfa Chemistry has a state-of-the-art analytical laboratory equipped with a variety of advanced analytical instruments. As Alfa Chemistry is constantly adding instruments to improve their analytical capabilities, this list is not exhaustive.

Spectroscopy

This technique involves measuring how molecules interact with electromagnetic radiation, which is used to identify the chemical composition and structure of a sample, determine its concentration, and study its physical properties. Typical instruments at Alfa Chemistry include:

• Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy
• Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy

• Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
• Raman spectroscopy

Mass Spectrometry

This technique involves measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions produced from a sample using electric and magnetic fields and is often used in conjunction with chromatography, which can identify and quantify specific compounds in a sample, determine their molecular weight, and study their chemical properties. Typical instruments at Alfa Chemistry include:

• Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
• Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

Chromatography

This technique is used to separate compounds based on their chemical properties and their ability to interact with a stationary phase. Typical instruments at Alfa Chemistry include:

• Thin-layer chromatography (TLC)
• Gas chromatography (GC)

• High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
• Liquid chromatography (LC)

Electron Microscopy

This technique uses a beam of electrons to observe materials at a microscopic level, which provides higher resolution than optical microscopy, allowing for observing smaller structures and features. Typical instruments at Alfa Chemistry include:

• Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

• Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

Thermal Analysis

This technique involves measuring the interaction of a substance with heat, which can be used to study a sample's physical and chemical properties, determine its thermal stability, and identify its composition. Typical instruments at Alfa Chemistry include:

• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

• Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

Others

Other analytical instruments at Alfa Chemistry include:

• X-ray diffraction (XRD)

• X-ray single crystal diffraction
