Analytical Testing

Omega Specialty Products & Services analytical services is located in a modern and well equipped technical center in Cleveland, Ohio with many of the experienced staff having advanced degrees.

Services include analysis of polymers and coatings as well as information regarding specific raw material characteristics.

Infrared Spectroscopy

Characterize unknown materials, purity analysis, surface analysis and contaminant analysis.

ICP Elemental Analysis
Simultaneous multi-element analysis capability from trace to tens of percent; 76 different elements can be identified in a variety of matrices including metals, organic and inorganic solids and liquids.

Gas Chromatography
Solvent compositions, solvent purity, identify and quantify volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds.

Gas Chromatography - Mass Spec
Permits identification of unknown organic materials.

Ion Chromatography
Identify soluble anions and cations in aqueous systems.

Scanning Electron Microscopy
Image surfaces in detail for surface roughness, irregularities, contaminants, particle size/shape; using photographic and x-ray fluorescence capability.

Transmission Electron Microscopy
High resolution surface imaging for morphology, phase distribution, particle size/shape, contaminant investigation, organic/inorganic crystalline orientations. Thin sections are required to perform testing.

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Surface composition, identification of contamination on solid surfaces.

Optical Microscopy
Determine size and shape of particles, surface heterogeneities, useful for failure analysis, contaminant investigation, any investigation where magnification enhances the information required; with digital photography and computerized enhancements.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Determine the molecular structure of pure or impure organic materials, identify components, purity, functional group analysis, especially polymer composition analysis; 1H and 13C.

Gel Permeation Chromatography
Determination of polymer molecular weight distributions based on size and weight, separation of polymer fractions, quantitative determination of components in a mixture.
