Physical Analysis Laboratory

The laboratory specializes in the study of the physical properties of samples, with a special focus on their characterization. Measurements of density, viscosity, melting point and other relevant physical characteristics are performed. State-of-the-art instruments such as spectrometers and viscometers are used to obtain accurate and reliable data, which are essential for assessing the quality of samples, particularly in the food industry. These analyses are critical to ensure compliance with regulations and to optimize production processes.

Features of the Laboratory

A physical analysis laboratory is equipped with highly specialized instruments designed to precisely measure the chemical and physical properties of samples. The most significant devices are:

COLORIMETER
An instrument for determining the concentration of a colored substance by measuring the absorbance of light, useful for quantitative analyses that correlate color intensity with the amount of substance in the solution.

FT-NIR WITH PROBE
An apparatus that enables rapid, non-destructive analysis of solid or liquid samples, using near-infrared technology to measure sample properties directly, without the need for complex preparations.

UV-VIS-NIR SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Equipment that offers the possibility of measuring the absorbance of light in a wide range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to near-infrared. This instrument makes possible a wide variety of analyses, which are essential in different scientific contexts.

INFRARED RAY SPECTROMETER (IR)
An apparatus that uses infrared radiation to identify chemical compounds in the sample. Using this instrument, the molecular signature of each substance can be detected, facilitating the precise identification of chemical compounds.

PORTABLE NIR IMAGE SPECTROMETER
An instrument that is particularly useful for field or on-site analysis. It measures chemical and physical properties of materials through reflectance in the near-infrared range, offering convenience and accuracy even in situations requiring mobility.

LIOFILIZER
Essential tool for drying frozen samples through sublimation, a process that removes water without damaging the sample structure. This tool is especially important for long-term storage of biological or chemical samples, especially those that are sensitive to moisture.

VISCOSIMETER
An instrument for measuring the viscosity of fluids at different temperatures and conditions.
This equipment is indispensable in quality control and development of chemical and food products, ensuring that the physical properties of fluids meet the required standards.

This equipment makes the physical analysis laboratory an extremely versatile and functional environment capable of meeting complex needs in various scientific and industrial fields .
