Chemistry to control quality

The assurance of quality parameters by companies is nowadays considered an essential element due to the growing international competition, where meeting the expectations and needs of customers under the quality label is crucial.

In collaboration with a company that manufactures fluorinated products, this research group has developed alternative methodologies for the determination of anionic impurities in their products by applying much faster, more automated instrumental techniques that require less manipulation by the operator: the capillary ion electrophoresis and ion chromatography. The main advantage of this new methodology is that the sample volume required is minimal.
