What's New at Chemir Analytical Services
New Instrumentation
We recently expanded our problem solving capabilities, with the acquisition of a new Gas Chromatograph/Mass Selective Detector (GC/MSD). This instrument allows our scientists to better identify and quantify volatile components, in addition to enhancing reliability and lowering detection limits when analyzing complex matrices.
In addition, we recently installed a Multi-Functional Pyrolysis System, enhanced with a new Microbalance. Our plastic and polymer experts can now better characterize and quantify product’s components and additives from as small as 50 micrograms. The Pyrolysis/GC/MS allows for quantitative analysis by providing percentages of components. This is useful data when helping companies troubleshoot “good” versus “bad” batches, characterize competitor’s products, and solve challenging manufacturing issues.
Employee Promotions
We are proud to announce the promotion of Hebi Bai, Ph.D. to the role of Science Fellow. Dr. Bai has been with our company for over 11 years. We are grateful for her expertise in polymer and coatings analysis, deformulation and her special expertise in polyurethanes.
