Analysis of particles (microplastic, metal particles, minerally particles, glass, etc.)

Analysis package for determining the material characteristics of particles, contaminations, deposits, abrasion of any type and origin, e.g. from filling goods such as foodstuffs, beverages, drinking water, cosmetics as well as from processing and packaging materials. Methods depending on the task and type of particles, e.g. light microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), mass spectroscopy (GC-MS,TOF- SIMS).

Test Method Group: Material analysis

Norms:

DIN ISO 4593 (2019-06) Plastics – Film and sheeting – Determination of thickness by mechanical scanning
DIN EN ISO 11357-3 (2025-09) Plastics – Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) – Part 3: Determination of temperature and enthalpy of melting and crystallization
In-house method PV049 (2026-01) Microtome cross cut and microscopic length determination
DIN EN ISO 536 (2020-05) Paper and board – Determination of grammage
DIN 55543-6 (2019-04) Packaging test – Test methods for packaging films – Part 6: Determination of grammage
DIN EN ISO 3146 (2022-06) Plastics Determination of melting behaviour (melting temperature or melting range) of semi-crystalline polymers by capillary tube and polarizing-microscope methods
DIN 51451 (2020-02) Testing of petroleum products and related products – Analysis by infrared spectrometry – General working principles

Required Sample Amount: Depending on the task, in principle one particle, smear of the contamination etc. is sufficient
