Classic stable isotope analysis of carbon (13C) with isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). The results are reported in the unit VPDB, ‰. The analysis is suitable for various sample materials. Please contact the Measurlabs expert for more detailed information on the analysis.

Our δ15N stable isotope analysis determines the ratio of 15N to 14N in a given sample material by a continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS). The results are reported per mille (‰). It is a measurement of the deviation of the ratio of the isotopes in comparison to a standard reference material. In the case of 15N analysis, this is typically atmospheric nitrogen (15N/14N = 0.0036765). The analysis is suitable for a wide range of sample materials, including, but not limited to: water, sediment, soil, plant tissue, animal tissue, bone, and other organic materials. All of our stable isotope analyses are conducted by ISO 17025 accredited facilities. Please contact the method expert to arrange testing on your samples.

Analysis for determining the content of respirable quartz and other forms of respirable crystalline silica in products and materials. The results can be used for labeling purposes and to facilitate the development of safer products. Crystalline silica/quartz is a common ingredient in building products and other materials containing or composed of stone, gravel, clay, or sand. Exposure to respirable silica for extended periods or high exposure for short periods causes silicosis and may lead to the development of lung cancer. This is why a binding limit value has been set for workplace exposure to respirable crystalline silica in EU countries. Ensuring that materials have a low quartz content is the most effective and cost-efficient way to prevent respirable quartz exposure. In EU countries, materials containing crystalline silica and other category 1 carcinogens are subject to a classification obligation, unless carcinogens are present in quantities below 0.1 % (w/w). Consequently, such products should include the warning “May cause lung cancer by inhalation” and “Causes damage to lungs”. The obligation applies to chemically modified mineral products that contain quartz. Additionally, industrial mineral producers (IMA) in the EU have decided that even non-modified mineral products should be classified based on their crystalline silica content (fine fraction), provided the content exceeds 1.0 wt.%.
