Deformulation of a Christmas Tree
Christopher Kringle recently requested a qualitative deformulation of an artificial Christmas tree for components above 1%. He was pleased to call Chemir Analytical Services, experts in polymer reverse engineering. Samples mysteriously arrived gift-wrapped in our sample receiving area.
Chemir scientists analyzed the Christmas tree samples using GC/MS, GPC, NMR, FT-IR and EDXA. Below is our comprehensive final report, complete with spectra, chromatograms andrecommendations for future work.
