Analytical Laboratory
We specialize in wet chemical analyses and modern instrumental techniques that comply with applicable standards. We focus on the precise determination of the composition of inorganic materials (cements, clinkers, limestones, lime, ceramics, silicates, and waste) with high accuracy and reliable results.
What We Offer
The VÚSH Analytical Laboratory provides comprehensive services in the chemical analysis of inorganic materials. Our accredited methods ensure accurate and reliable results, applicable for quality control, research, and calibration of instrumental methods.
Total Silicate Analysis and Wet Chemistry
Comprehensive sample decompositions, component separation, and quantitative determination of main oxides according to applicable standards and established procedures.
Instrumental Elemental and Ionic Analysis
TEICP-OES, flame AAS/AES, capillary electrophoresis, and AMA254 mercury analyzer for the high-precision determination of macro and trace elements and selected ions.
Consulting and Individual Analyses
Expert consultations, test scope design, methodological support, and provision of reference data for industrial and research applications.
Modern Equipment and Technology
Our laboratory is equipped with modern facilities for sample decomposition and wet chemistry, as well as for instrumental measurements. We combine proven standardized procedures with advanced analytical techniques to ensure results are accurate, repeatable, and clearly traceable to customer requirements.
All equipment is regularly calibrated and inspected according to relevant standards. This allows us to provide data useful for production control, research purposes, and as reference materials for X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) calibration.
Our Services
We provide comprehensive chemical analyses of silicate and building materials, raw materials, products, and waste. We combine classic standardized procedures with modern instrumental analysis to provide data useful for quality control, development, certification, and optimization of technological processes.
