Toxic/Hazardous Substance Testing

CD BioSciences-Advanced Materials is at the forefront of advanced materials offering cutting-edge products and services. Our goal is to deliver satisfactory material testing services to the clients. In particular, we aim at in-depth investigations to establish the presence of toxic/hazardous substances in materials. To achieve this high level of performance, we employ the newest technologies and high-standard quality control procedures, which guarantee the testing parameters and interpretation of each output. The results help the clients appreciate the safety and risks associated with materials used in their products, ensuring compliance with environmental and health regulations and best practices.

Importance of Toxic and Hazardous Substances Testing

Heavy metals, chemical substances, biotoxins, and radioactive substances are some examples of toxic and hazardous substances that if abused can severely compromise human health and the environment. If these toxic and hazardous substances reach a certain tissue concentration in the human body, they can increase the risk of human diseases. If abused, these substances can result in soil pollution, water pollution, and even air pollution, which can damage the ecosystem and biodiversity of the area. Thus testing of these hazardous substances are key aspect responsible for the safety of materials and the environment and is essential for achieving eco-friendly production and sustainability.

Testing Methods and Techniques

We customize the appropriate testing methods according to clients' needs and material properties. Below are a few commonly used testing methods:

Chemical Analysis Methods

When conducting chemical analysis, there exists a method to estimate the mass impact of one or multiple harmful and toxic substances. This includes techniques such as titration and chemical reactions to ensure that the target substance is measurable. Although these methods are easy to employ, they lack the needed sensitivity to serve detection in low amounts.

Spectral Analysis Method

In attempts to assess various atomic particles, light is emitted which can alternatively be utilized for visualization. Such tools include atomic absorption spectrometry or even fluorescence spectrometry. The main attributes of these tools are their high sensitivity alongside good selectivity.

Chromatographic Analysis Method

We analyze the individual components of a mixture by separating and detecting them, such as gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. Chromatographic analysis is characterized by high separation efficiency, high detection sensitivity, and wide applicability, and is one of the most commonly used detection methods.

Bioanalytical Method

We use the interaction of living organisms (e.g. bacteria, cells, enzymes, etc.) with target substances for analysis, such as the biosensor method and microbial method. Bioanalytical methods have the advantages of good selectivity, easy operation, and real-time monitoring, and are suitable for the detection of specific biotoxins.

Our Testing Process

The testing process for toxic and hazardous substances in materials usually includes the following steps.

Client Consultation

The first phase of the project involves getting in touch with the clients so that their requirements and the characteristics of the material are fully brought to our understanding.

Detection and Analysis

We analyze the toxic and hazardous substances in the samples using appropriate testing methods to produce test results.

Sample Collection

In order to fully satisfy the requirements of the procedure to be undertaken, it is important to acquire the necessary and appropriate samples to be tested.

Result Determination

On the basis of the standards referred to in the testing procedures in relation to the test results, it is possible to evaluate and note whether the traces of contaminants in the samples are within acceptable limits.

Sample Processing

The procedures of dissolution, dilution, and filtering of the relevant samples are done in order to prepare them for tests and examinations.

Report Preparation

In reference to such test results and judgment results, we prepare reports on the testing carried out for our clients.

CD BioSciences-Advanced Materials has devised a thorough hazardous substance testing service that guarantees high safety standards for client products. Also, as part of the minimization of risks and making certain that proper resource utilization is achieved, we ensure that all green requirements are met. Furthermore, at the request of the clients, a list of safe and hazardous substances can be prepared, and biodegradable materials that are non-toxic and easy to recycle may be recommended. We always welcome contact us in relation to our services.
