Contract analysis, method development and project work are an excellent possibility for many companies

and institutes to profit from the LabSPA services. Our scientific approach and good laboratory experience

provide high quality analysis services.

The LabSPA operates on basis of a quality management and according to relevant ISO- and DIN-standards.

We align our structure, availability of analyzers as well as processes as far as possible according to your

wishes, independent if you assign individual measurements or use the LabSPA for a longer period as an

external analytical laboratory and quality control laboratory. We are equally ready to discuss with you urgent

analyses with short process times as well as rentals of analyzers, training of your staff, comparison

measurements towards your analyses or project work.

Short processing times, well-based knowledge of our lab staff, experience with sampling, sample dividing

(MICRO RIFFLER also for smallest sample amounts) and – weighing (weighing techniques down to 0.01 mg

with integrated sample deionization), dry- and wet dispersion methods as well as high quality analyzers

guarantee: the scientific and comprehensive characterisation of dispersions, powders and porous solids is

core competence of the LabSPA.

The supplementary analytical methods of the LabSPA allow method development and project work.

The use of different analytical methods is sketched exemplary for the following fields:

a) Fuel cells / batteriesFuel cells / batteriesFuel cells / batteriesFuel cells / batteries: Analytical methods are available for particle size determination (laser diffraction,

DLS, acoustic spectroscopy), for particle analysis in concentrated dispersions (acoustics and

electroacoustics for the determination of particle size and zeta potential in original dispersions),

supplementary methods for the analysis of active catalyst surface, specific surface area and pore size

distributions (Hg-porosimetry, gas adsorption, chemisorption, capillary flow porometry) of membranes

incl. DVS for the characterisation of water adsorption and desorption of the materials.

b) Pharmacy / Cosmetics / FoodPharmacy / Cosmetics / FoodPharmacy / Cosmetics / FoodPharmacy / Cosmetics / Food: Our analytical methods for determination of density and tap density,

BET-surface area, surface and pore characteristics, stability and microrheological properties of original

dispersions, water sorption (DVS) or the methods for determination of particle size (ca. 1 nm up to the

centimeter range) and particle shape allow comprehensive investigations in this field.

c) Geology / Soil SciGeology / Soil SciGeology / Soil SciGeology / Soil Scienenenencececece: Beyond the characterisation of density, raw density and porosity, particle size

and shape as well as water adsorption of geological and soil samples, a surface and pore investigation

is possible also towards submicropores (< 0.5 nm) in clay and humus fractions by use of alternative

adsorptives at the gas adsorption. In cooperation with our partners we offer for the characterisation of

drill cores, complementary to results out of the Hg-porosimetry, permeability measurements at high

pressures and temperatures.

d) Building materials and ceramicsBuilding materials and ceramicsBuilding materials and ceramicsBuilding materials and ceramics: Beyond the determination of density, raw density resp. green density

and porosity not only particle size characterisation by wet and dry measurements of powders is possible,

but also the characterisation of concentrated ceramic or cement slurries in original concentration by

determination of zeta potential, particle size or sound attenuation over a period. The analysis of water

adsorption behaviour and pore size distribution of intermediates and final products can complete these

investigations.

e) AdsorbentsAdsorbentsAdsorbentsAdsorbents: Zeolithes, activated carbons, MOF´s, molecular sieves, silica gels a.o. can be analysed

comprehensively. The use of gases and vapours is possible between 20 – 320 K by means of the

CRYOCOOLER and therefore to determine textural parameters as well as to make thermo-dynamic

evaluations. Such analyses can be affected with the iSORB-HP at variable temperatures up to 200 bar as

contract analyses and can be complemented by Hg-porosimetry and other analysis methods.

project work

Combined application of analysis methods aimed to investigate the

applicability of methods for a certain task

97509 Take-over of external quality

control

Take-over of analyses for your quality control by mutual agreement: if

necessary, analyzers are reserved according the schedule, accordingly

calibrated and checked previous to an analysis series

97511 Seminars

Internal (in our laboratory) or external (at your site) seminars provide

advantages for the training of groups: We offer a package price

(seminar, training, travel expenses incl.) and in consultation with you we

define topics and duration of the training (seminar)

97512 Comparison measurements with

customer specific analysis

conditions

We analyse your samples according to your instructions for comparison

with your analysis results, which you obtained either by using the same

analyzer type or different ones or by alternative analysis methods, and

evaluate the results

97513 Product expert consultation

Our accordingly specialised product expert handles your commissioned

task, works on the requirements and provides a written report and final

discussion

97515 Analyzer rental incl. user training

The analyzers of the LabSPA can be rented upon prior arrangement, we

provide you with a quotation for the analyzer rental incl. installation and

user training at your site

97516 Cost effective rental of the

laboratory („Rent the lab“)

Analyzers of the LabSPA can be rented incl. working time of the

required lab staff, so that the invoice for analysis results is not based on

the number of performed analyses but on the number of working days.

This is advantageous when applying different analysis methods (parallel

use of analyzers) and if you want to be present during measurements

Required sample informationRequired sample informationRequired sample informationRequired sample information must be attached to each sample specimen.

a.) a general sample sheet (with indications for safe handling and disposal of the samples)

b.) a further sample sheet with indications regarding the analysis method, the required analyses, sample properties

and -preparations

The necessary sample sheets can either be sent to you by E-Mail if requested but also be downloaded from our

homepage www.quantachrome.nl – Dates and Downloads.

Measurement results and analysis Measurement results and analysis Measurement results and analysis Measurement results and analysis reportreportreportreport:::: The analysis report with the measurement results is provided as pdf-file by email

report with explanations of the analysis method and procedure and an interpretation on the basis of our experiences.

Processing timeProcessing timeProcessing timeProcessing time: : : : The standard delivery time for analysis results is within 10 working days after receipt of samples and has

sometimes to be exceeded in case of large sample amounts or long-time-measurements (e.g. micro pore analysis or DVS

with long equilibrium times). We will try to meet the required delivery time which we kindly ask you to specify on the

sample sheet.

ExpressExpressExpressExpress----ServiceServiceServiceService:::: The results are delivered within 2 working days resp. the analyses / sample preparations will be started

on the first working day after sample receipt. The surcharge for the express service is 50 % on the standard prices.
