Dispersant and Surfactant Characterization

Dispersants are surfactant-based chemical agents that help disperse and break down a variety of liquids, solids, and solutions. Dispersant and surfactant compounds, additives, and materials are tested, analyzed, and characterized at Alfa Chemistry's dispersant analysis laboratory. Surfactant analysis, residual surfactant testing, and residual detergent analysis are just a few of the technologies we offer to assist you to analyze surface-active substances.

We have a lot of experience analyzing surface-active compounds in detail, whether it's individually, in a mixture, or a finished product. We can choose the best analysis method for your project based on our extensive knowledge of surfactant analysis technology. These may include:

• Positive and negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS).
• Positive and negative ion liquid chromatography (LC-MS) with mass detection.
• Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for identification of non-ionic surfactants.

Why Choose Dispersant and Surfactant Characterization of Alfa Chemistry?

Alfa Chemistry's services include surfactant analysis, residual surfactant testing, and residual detergent analysis. We can help you:

• Detect and quantify detergents in biopharmaceutical products, including TWEEN and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
• Recognize cationic and amphoteric detergents by positive ion ES-MS, such as quaternary ammonium salts, N-oxides, sultana, and non-ionic detergents.
• Use negative ion ES-MS to identify anionic detergents, such as alkyl benzene sulfonate and ether sulfate.
• Use LC-MS to identify alkoxylated non-ionic cleaners such as alkylphenol ethoxylates, alcohol propoxylates, and gasoline dispersants.
• Analyze low-level surfactants or complicated matrices with LC-MS.
• Leading providers provide reliable detergent and surfactant analysis and characterization.

We provide you with the required experience, technical and regulatory expertise, and a unique global network as the world's leading supplier of detergent and surfactant analysis and characterization.
