Chemical Analysis and Comprehensive Substance Identification Services
At The Carlson Company, we help clients understand the exact chemical composition of substances and materials through advanced laboratory testing. Our chemical analysis and substance identification services support safety, compliance and decision-making for industries, forensic teams and product developers.
Why Accurate Chemical Analysis Matters
Chemical composition testing is essential when you need clarity about materials, contaminants, potential hazards or the chemistry behind a product. Whether you’re confirming formulation, assessing risks or validating quality, our chemical analysis laboratory provides clear, reliable data.
Our Analytical Process
Our comprehensive substance identification process involves multiple analytical stages to ensure precision and reliability.
1. Initial Assessment and Classification
We begin by evaluating the material’s characteristics using visual examination, wet chemistry and FTIR spectroscopy. This helps determine whether the sample is organic, inorganic or a complex mixture.
2. Advanced Chemical Analysis
We use industry-leading analytical instruments to identify substances and their composition with precision.
For organic substances, we use:
- GC-MS
- LC-MS
- HPLC
For inorganic materials, we use:
- ICP-MS
- Ion chromatography
- Elemental analysis
Complex samples undergo separation techniques so each compound can be individually identified.
3. Data Validation and Reporting
Results are reviewed, verified and compiled into a detailed report. If required, we include concentration levels, hazard information and compliance-ready documentation.
