Luvak determines a wide variety of metal alloys, ceramics, composites and polymers using a full suite of elemental analysis techniques. Our four core methods deliver accurate, accredited results across trace and major element determination.
Indirect Current Emission (ICPES) Spectroscopy: ASTM E1479, ASTM E2371, ASTM E2594, ASTM E3061.
ICPES is a versatile and efficient method using the SPECTRO ARCOS FHX22, providing one of the most accurate testing methods on the market today.
Direct Current Plasma Emission (DCPES) Spectroscopy: ASTM E1097.
DCPES is a classic optical method using the Beckman Spectra Span VI, providing over 30 years of experience as a one of the most accurate testing methods available.
Atomic Absorption (AA) Spectroscopy: ASTM E699.
Considered less prone to spectral interference, AA provides accurate detection of trace metals using the Perkin Elmer 3030B.
Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption (GFAA) Spectroscopy: ASTM1236.
GFAA employs an electric furnace and multiple heating steps to remove interferences and isolate elements for sub-ppm determination of trace metals using the Shimadzu AA6650.
