06

Rubber & Petrochemical

Nitrogen in raw natural rubber, fat and extractables in polymers and oils, and chloride-ion determination in construction materials.

Applicable standards
ISO 1656ISO 6492:1999ISO 3947-1994ISO 13906
Recommended instruments
07

Chemical Industry

Nitrogen in chemical products and specialty materials — from high-nitrogen compounds, where K12/K18 reach 99.8% recovery in high-nitrogen test mode, to nitride alloys such as manganese-silicon nitride, analysed by high-pressure digestion plus automated distillation (published application note).

Method note

Classification and method work in this field is project-specific — see the published alloy application note for an example.

Recommended instruments
08

Pharma & Biotech

Nitrogen determination against the pharmacopoeia methods for raw materials and biotechnology products — with the audit trail, five-level user management and LIMS connection that regulated QC requires (K18).

Applicable standards
USP <461>Ph. Eur. 2.5.9
Recommended instruments
09

Research & QC

Universities, research institutes, teaching laboratories and quality-supervision bodies — methods specified against the published standard, with the verification file to defend every reported result.
