Contaminant detection and analysis

Identifying and understanding process issues and assuring product quality and safety

Contamination can prove detrimental to product quality and process efficiency, and may also pose serious public health or environmental safety concerns. Therefore, the levels of hazardous elements in electronic goods and consumer products are limited by health & safety regulations. 

Contaminants or foreign particles come from a wide range of sources, including corroded or damaged equipment parts, catalysts, cross-contamination of a process, packaging, or even from biological origin.

Our instruments

Contaminant detection, enumeration and in some cases contaminant identification, enable process issues to be pinpointed and help assure product safety and quality. 

Malvern Panalytical provides solutions for contaminant analysis that help you understand and monitor both your processes and products. These are used across a range of industries, including forensic science, water treatment, additive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals, building materialsfood and drinks, fuels and fine chemicals.
