OUR TECHNIQUES
our techniques
ICP MS-MS
For the determination and screening of heavy metal traces in chemical matrices or for the analysis of heavy metals in cosmetic raw materials, FILAB has an analytical park of more than fifteen ICPs (ICP-MS-MS, ICP-MS, ICP-AES).
Above all, FILAB is one of the few laboratories in France to offer you the ICP-MS-MS technique for your heavy metal analyses. ICP-MS-MS, coupled with the savoir-faire of our technical teams, allows an even more in-depth and detailed analysis of the quantification of heavy metals in your cosmetic products.
Minéralisation par µ-onde
The FILAB laboratory is able to analyze all types of cosmetic matrices, even solid ones. To do so, we prepare your sample through µ-wave mineralization. The microwave oven, due to its high heating capacity, coupled with solvents, allows the acid digestion of any solid sample.
Amalgameur Hg
Naturally occuring or resulting from human activity, the use of mercury is regulated in industrial sectors. It is therefore one of the elements prohibited in the composition of your cosmetic products.
Mercury handling requires specific technical means. This is why FILAB laboratory experts use a mercury amalgamator with an autosampler for all mercury analyses. The mercury amalgamator is an absorption spectrometer for the quantification of mercury in liquid and solid samples by vaporization. Therefore, it is not necessary to mineralize your products. This technique allows to reach very high sensitivity levels for a faster analysis !
