Elemental Analysis
Elemental Analysis is a process where a sample of a compound is analyzed to determine its elemental composition. Micro Analysis has provided elemental analysis services for customers in a great number of industries, research, and academic organizations:
- Fuel and oil, Biodiesel, Biofuels
- Farming products, chemicals, residues, soil
- Paint, Foam, Sealants
- General Chemical and Specialty Chemical
- Pharmaceutical products
- Cosmetic products
- Food and Beverage
- Milk compounds
Micro Analysis commonly performs Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur, halogene and halide analysis, Kjeldahl Nitrogen, and inorganic analysis.

Elemental Analysis Methods
All of our methods of Elemental Analysis are based on mass. Samples are weighed on calibrated micro-balances and certified standards are used to calibrate the instruments and standardize methods. The empirical formula for a compound is a calculation of the elemental composition by mass.

Elemental Analyses Precisions
% CHN and %S:
Precision: +/- 0.30 % LOD: < 0.10%
% Oxygen:
Precision: +/- 0.30 % LOD: < 0.10%
% Sulfur and Halogens % Br, Cl, F and I:
Precision: +/- 0.30% LOD: < 0.10% (Iodine LOD <0.25%)
Kjeldahl Nitrogen (micro):
Precision and LOD vary based on N concentration and sample weight. Precision: +/- 0.020% LOD: < 0.020%

I have been sending samples to you for independent analysis which helped me confirm my interpretations. You have done an excellent job so far that I have now convinced [one of our resin suppliers] to use your laboratory for future elemental analysis.

Elemental Analysis Prices
You can see our Elemental Analysis prices here. The pricing structure reflects discounted prices for additional (duplicate, triplicate etc) test runs.
Please note that there is no minimum volume for your order, we will do any small job or project for you. As you could see from the price list, the lowest elemental analysis price now is $39.00 for %Nitrogen and the highest price is $75.00 for %Oxygen.
If you want a University discount or need to talk over some details of your analysis, please Contact Us by email or by phone. We are here to help you.
