Intertek laboratories detect and measure contamination and impurities down to trace-levels in a wide range of products and materials. The trace contamination laboratories identify and determine unknown contamination composition and provide data pointing to potential contaminant origin, often from complex sources or matrices. Contamination analysis includes detection and identification of unknown or suspected contaminants, including percipitations, impurities, sludge, trace chemicals, particulates, coatings, powders, deposits, gels, gases, organic, inorganic, bacterialogical and more.

Contaminants analyzed include complex matrices, liquids, solids, metal and inorganic particulates, fibres (polymeric and inorganic), silicones and surfactants, reaction by-products, decomposition products, greases and lubricants, cleaning agents and fragments from polymeric filters, seals and other components of process equipment, environmental samples and much more. Intertek scientists have the expertise and hands-on experience to identify the simplest practical solution to contaminant identification in most aspects of chemical and industrial processing.
