Airborne Particulate Contaminant Analysis

Airborne particulate contaminants are a significant concern in various sectors such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and environmental control. These particles can range from dust to allergens and pose risks to both human health and product quality.

Our laboratory offers comprehensive airborne particulate contaminant analysis services designed to meet the stringent requirements of industries where contamination must be minimized. Our team employs advanced analytical techniques to identify and quantify these contaminants, ensuring that our clients receive accurate and reliable data.

The first step in our process involves collecting air samples using specialized samplers. These samplers are calibrated according to ISO 16352-1:2019 standards to ensure consistent and reproducible results. Once collected, the samples undergo rigorous preparation procedures before analysis.

Our state-of-the-art instrumentation includes scanning electron microscopes (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometers (EDX), which allow us to visualize particles at nanoscale resolutions and determine their elemental compositions. Additionally, we utilize laser diffraction particle size analyzers compliant with ASTM E1777-20 standards to measure particle sizes accurately.

The analysis process typically involves several stages: sample collection, preliminary examination under a microscope, preparation of the sample for more detailed inspection using SEM and EDX, followed by data interpretation. Our experts then compile reports detailing findings, including concentrations of different types of particles detected as well as any potential sources identified.

Understanding client needs is crucial when tailoring our services; therefore, we offer flexible packages catering to specific requirements such as compliance with industry standards like ISO 14644-1:2019 for cleanroom environments or custom protocols developed in consultation with clients. By leveraging advanced technologies and experienced personnel, we aim not only to provide accurate results but also to ensure that our customers have peace of mind knowing their facilities are free from harmful contaminants.

This service plays an essential role in maintaining high standards across multiple industries by identifying potential risks early on so necessary corrective actions can be taken promptly. Whether you need regular monitoring or one-off assessments, our dedicated team stands ready to assist with all your airborne particulate contaminant analysis needs.
