Metal screening by ICP-SFMS

This metal screening analysis includes the semi-quantitative determination of 70 elements. The method can be used, for example, to determine the background concentrations of metals in environmental samples or to study the elemental distribution of unknown … Read more

Elemental analysis of wood or pulp

EPA 6020B
Determining the content of S, Na, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn, Si, and P in a wood or pulp powder sample. The sample is microwave-digested using a solution of HF, HNO3, and HCl before the analysis. The elements are then detected using … Read more

Lignin content of biomass

TAPPI T-UM 250, TAPPI T222
Determination of the acid-insoluble and acid-soluble lignin content of biomass samples. A solid biomass sample is hydrolyzed, and the acid-insoluble residue is filtered out to determine the amount of Klason … Read more

Degree of substitution of chemically modified carbohydrates

Determination of the degree of substitution of chemically modified carbohydrate samples with the 31P NMR method. Suitable for mono-, di-, oligo- and polysaccharides. Price includes sample preparation through … Read more

Seaweed carbohydrate analysis

This analysis is used to determine the carbohydrate content of seaweed-based samples. A solid sample is hydrolyzed, the acid-insoluble residue is filtered out, and monosaccharide components are analyzed using ion chromatography. Ash content is determined … Read more

Specific surface area + pore size analysis (BET)

BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) analysis to determine specific surface area and pore size of solid materials. Read more

Ash content of paper, board or pulp

The test determines the ash content of paper, board, and pulp upon being ignited at 525 °C. The results express the mass of the inorganics in your sample. Read more

Chloride in solid matrices (water-soluble, one step batch extraction)

Determination of the amount of water-soluble chloride in solid matrices. Chloride is extracted from the dried sample with water in a single-stage shaking test at room temperature (20 ± 5°C) … Read more

Lignin molecular weight distribution

Lignin sample molar mass distribution analysis using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) coupled with a UV detector at wavelength 256 nm. The lignin is dissolved in a suitable solvent before analysis. The SEC system is calibrated with a … Read more

Seaweed-based sugars in solution

Analysis of the sugar content of seaweed-based solution samples. First, free monomeric sugar components are determined from the solution using ion chromatography. Then, the sample is acid hydrolyzed and the monosaccharide components are analyzed … Read more

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) of pulp process liquids

ISO 6060
The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of pulp process liquid is measured according to the ISO 6060 standard to evaluate the environmental burden of the water sample. The sample must be kept at a temperature … Read more

Kappa number of paper, board, or pulp according to ISO 302

ISO 302
The Kappa number describes the lignin content or bleachability of pulp. With this test, the kappa number is determined as per the ISO 302 standard, which applies to all kinds of chemical and … Read more

Lignin carbohydrate composition

During this lignin carbohydrate analysis, the lignin sample is first hydrolyzed, after which the acid-insoluble fraction is filtered and monomeric sugars are analyzed with ion chromatography. Monomeric sugars included in the analysis are glucose, … Read more
