Alfa Chemistry provides you with a wide range of nanomaterials application services, including the analysis and characterization of nanotubes, and the analysis of pharmaceutical nanoparticles. We provide a complete set of analysis services to evaluate the structure and purity of single-walled carbon nanotubes. These comprehensive analysis services can help you optimize the structure and purity of your products, and help you verify the quality of your nanotubes. Our nanoparticle experts cover physical and chemical analysis expertise, and can provide comprehensive R&D or analysis capabilities in compliance with good manufacturing practices for particle or suspension nanosystems.

Carbon Nanotube Analysis and Characterisation

The quality of carbon nanotubes varies with production conditions, so carbon nanotube manufacturers need reliable data on structure and quality to optimize production and verify their products. Similarly, downstream users also need to ensure the quality of carbon nanotubes used in products. Alfa Chemistry scientists have professional chemical analysis technology and many years of analytical research experience, and can help customers analyze and characterize carbon nanotubes.

We use a variety of complementary technologies to verify the key structure and quality parameters of carbon nanotubes. Information from each technology helps to construct a comprehensive map of the structure and quality of nanotube samples.

• Evaluate the dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes in products

Analysis of Nanoparticles in Pharmaceuticals

Nanoparticles have been developed for a range of medical product applications, including drug delivery, controlled release systems, and medical devices. The analysis of drug nanoparticles can provide a wealth of information to help product development, especially for complex drug delivery technologies, formulations, or product characterization. Therefore, experienced analysts need to operate complex analytical techniques to provide reliable data and insights to support drug development activities.

Alfa Chemistry provides customers with professional pharmaceutical nanoparticle analysis services to help you meet and exceed quality, safety and regulatory standards. The analysis techniques we use are as follows:
