Mineral and Chemical Analysis Services
30 years experience in analytical chemistry
Specializing in Franklin, NJ minerals
OUR SERVICES
Energy Dispersive X-Ray Microanalysis
Microprobe X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry provides sub 1 At% bulk compositional analysis of minerals
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)
XRF semiquantitative and qualitative measurements and reports for light elements, alloys, precious metals, RoHS, and metal oxides (mining).
Mineral Colorimetry
D65 and Xenon source CIELAB colorimetry to quantify mineral coloration
FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy
Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance, and library matching against 10,000+ known signatures
​Fluorescence Spectrophotometry
Emission and excitation scans from 220nm-900nm, useful for fluorescent minerals and characterization of Franklin, NJ specimens. Nitrogen, HeCd, Argon, and diode lasers and monochromators are also available for special research projects.
​Raman Spectroscopy
785nm and 1064nm Raman scans, with spectra matching to an extensive (10,700 +entity database) of minerals and compounds.
Gamma Spectroscopy
Gamma ray energy analysis (multichannel analyzer) and isotope identification.
Magnetic Surveys
Single and multiaxis gauss, flux, (helmholtz fluxmeter) measurements, and Ferrocell pictures useful for magnetites and magnetic objects
ABOUT
We are a small business providing analytical services for minerals. We specialize in Franklin, NJ specimens, and our interest in these minerals led us to create this business. We are analytical chemists by training, with a love of geology. Check out fo.rocks for some of our lab data!
