Food Company needs metallurgical laboratory for testing and identifying of magnetic particles in food blend. While producting of food spice blends we have detected that one material contained metal dust and very small pieces of magnetic particles. Those were detected by machinery magnet of 10 000 gauss. We have collected those particles but we would need help with identifying what material exactly this is (what metal). This would be one-time testing. We are able provide as sample collected particles (collected on duct tape) as well as raw material itself containing those particles. Preferable laboratory operating in Europe.

Laboratory needed for authenticating eight ceramic Chinesco figurines purported to be 500 years old. We are requesting any tests that may help authenticate the figurines. As they consist of glazed ceramic, tests that could determine the age of the materials could assist in determining when they were created. Since the claim from the seller was that they were "pre-Columbian", the expectation is that they could be about 500 or more years old.

We are looking for a laboratory who can complete a fly ash analysis test procedure. The test procedure involves mixing a quantity of fly ash (about 120 g) with Hydrochloric Acid while heated at various temperatures. This mixture is to be filtered and the resulting filtrate is to be analyzed via atomic absorption spectroscopy. We wish to know the concentration of the following metals in the filtrate: Cr, Ni, Fe, Co, Al, M, Li, Pb, Mo, Zn, Ca, Na. Additional steps are to be completed to precipitate any metals from the filtrate. The additional chemicals required for these steps are Oxalic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Sodium Hydroxide.

MULTIPLE LABORATORIES Laboratories needed for certification testing of technique to produce reference materials of a very resistive material by micro-analysis (LA-ICP-MS, µXRF, LIBS etc.). Right now we are in the planning stages of certifying a magnetite (Fe3O4) reference material.Therefore, we are looking for several laboratories to participate in our round robin. Since magnetite is a very resistive mineral I was wondering if you have the capabilities to dissolve it since conventional acid digestions (i.e. aqua regia HF perchloric acid) fail to do so.The usual way to go is Na-peroxide or Li-borate fusion with subsequent analyses.We are going to do a screening, using LA-ICP-MS, of the samples on the 6th of February. Afterwards we will be able to give you some more information on desired analytes an their concentration range.Please le
