When is a chemical examination needed
A chemical examination helps to find out the composition of a product, material or unknown substance and answer complex technological questions.
It is needed when it is necessary to:
- determine whether a drug is of natural or synthetic origin
- check the real composition of the product and identify possible falsification
- find out the cause of a technological failure in production
- check whether the composition corresponds to that declared on the label
- make sure that there are no harmful or toxic substances
Why should you contact the OTAVA laboratory
- experienced analytical chemists
- modern fleet of laboratory equipment
- multi-level control of research results
- additional verification of results in case of the slightest doubt
Our experience
Since 2004, the OTAVA laboratory has performed over a thousand complex analytical studies.
We have worked with:
- polymers and multicomponent materials
- paints and coatings
- fertilizers and agrochemicals
- autochemicals and household chemicals
- medicines and dietary supplements
- cosmetics
- construction materials
- high-tech liquids
- unknown substances
As a result of the study, you receive
- accurate information about the chemical parameters of the sample
- a detailed report from a certified laboratory with a description of the research methodology
- a specialist consultation on the results obtained
- You send us a sample. Describe the task - what exactly you want to learn as a result.
- We conduct a preliminary study to determine the plan of examination of the sample, the scheme of the scientific study, its cost and timing. Preliminary research is normally free.
- At the end of the preliminary study, we are ready to provide you with a commercial proposal with the cost and term of the examination.
- As part of scientific chemical expertise, we identify the full or agreed list of components that make up the product you provide.
- Our scientific-intellectual and instrumental resources make it possible to identify most of the ingredients, to establish the correspondence between the physico-chemical parameters of raw materials and the consumer qualities of the product, to determine unknown components, the causes of technological failures.
- After receiving the result, you have the opportunity to consult with an expert.
- The expert will explain all the results to you and recommend ways to eliminate shortcomings or maybe further research.
- Consultation based on the results of the study is free.
- You can apply for a consultation at any time after the study, without limiting the maximum period.
In most cases, the composition of a substance or mixture can be determined using modern analytical methods. After a preliminary assessment of the sample, we will inform you what results can be obtained.
Usually, only a few milligrams or milliliters are required. The exact amount depends on the type of sample and the research task.
Yes. Most samples can be sent by mail or courier service after prior consultation with the laboratory.
The time required depends on the complexity of the task and the number of analytical methods involved. After the preliminary evaluation of the sample, we will provide an estimated timeline.
The client receives a detailed laboratory report including the methods used, measurement results, and an expert conclusion.
Yes. After receiving the results, you may contact us for consultation during the storage period of the primary data (usually up to one year).
