Elemental Analysis
Explore what elemental analysis can do for your research
The Elemental Analysis Facility runs a VELP Scientifica EMA 502 Elemental Micro Analyzer. This advanced system can aid in determining the chemical structure of an unknown compound or be used to determine the purity of a synthesized compound by looking at the C/H/N/S elemental composition.
