Complex and Non-Routine Analytical Solutions

In the rapidly evolving world of analytical chemistry, routine tests and standard methodologies often fall short when faced with unique and complex challenges. From detecting unknown contaminants in raw materials to unraveling intricate reaction mechanisms, solving non-routine problems requires advanced tools, innovative thinking, and a deep understanding of chemistry.

The Nature of Non-Routine Analytical Problems

Non-routine analytical problems are characterized by their complexity and the absence of predefined solutions. These problems may arise from:

Unknown Impurities: Unexpected contaminants in a product or raw material.

Complex Matrices: Samples containing diverse and interfering components.

Trace-Level Detection: Analyzing compounds present at extremely low concentrations.

Regulatory Challenges: Ensuring compliance with ever-evolving standards and guidelines.

These challenges demand a tailored approach, combining cutting-edge instrumentation with expert interpretation.

QIAS team has strong experience in utilizing advanced analytical techniques to solve these challenges, including:

Mass Spectrometry (MS) and High-Resolution MS (HRMS): Enables accurate mass measurements to identify unknown compounds.

Tandem MS (MS/MS): Provides structural information through fragmentation patterns, crucial for unknown compound elucidation.

Chromatography Techniques (GC, LC) and Coupled Techniques (GC-MS or LC-MS): Enhance analytical capabilities by integrating separation and detection techniques for separating complex mixtures and identification of unknowns.

Molecular and Elemental Spectroscopy (UV-VIS-NIR, FTIR, Raman, ICP): Effective for functional group identification and trace elemental quantification.
