Eurofins Environment Testing Comprehensive Microplastics Analysis Services
At Eurofins, we are committed to delivering precise and comprehensive analysis of microplastics across various environments. Our advanced techniques ensure the reliable detection and characterization of microplastics in your samples, enhancing your understanding of their presence and impact.
Capabilities
Our microplastics analysis services cover a broad size range, detecting particles from 20 µm to 500 µm. We analyze a variety of matrices, including treated drinking water, aqueous consumer products, and non-potable environmental water. Utilizing state-of-the-art technologies, we employ high-resolution visual microscopy for accurate particle quantification and Raman spectroscopy for precise chemical composition determination.
Analytes Identified
Our detailed analysis identifies a wide range of microplastic types, including:
- Polyamide (PA)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Polyethylene (PE)
- Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
- Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polyurethane (PU)
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
Our comprehensive approach ensures that you receive in-depth insights into the composition of microplastics present in your samples.
Quality, Precision, and Expertise
We conduct our analyses in a state-of-the-art clean room to minimize contamination and maximize reliability. Our stringent quality control measures guarantee the accuracy and consistency of results, while our team of experienced scientists leverages the latest technology to provide high-quality, actionable insights. Detailed reports are provided, including polymer identification, individual polymer counts, and total microplastics count.
Taking the Lead in Microplastics Testing
The environmental impact of microplastics has gained significant attention due to their potential health hazards. Recent studies suggest microplastics might be present in human blood, though further research is needed. Microplastics, which are plastic particles smaller than 0.5 mm, are found in water, air, soil, and even ice at the North Pole. They can originate from industrial spills (primary microplastics) or from the breakdown of plastic products like bottles and carpets (secondary microplastics). There is growing concern over their potential to carry harmful chemicals and pollutants.
At Eurofins, we recognize the severity of this issue and are at the forefront of addressing it through our microplastics testing services. Explore our global microplastics offerings to learn more about how we are tackling this environmental challenge.
