SIS Laboratory Services - Sample Analysis

Our Laboratory equipment is available for the analysis of samples for potential customers of our thermal desorption systems or for other organizations on a limited basis who have need of our analytical services. You are welcome to visit our facilities for a demonstration of the Short Path Thermal Desorption System. We would be happy to analyze a few samples for you to demonstrate the applicability of the system.

In the event that you cannot visit our facilities in Ringoes, New Jersey, we can also analyze several samples which you can send in to us in order to determine the feasibility of the Short Path Thermal Desorption System for your application.

Contract Sample Analysis Services at SIS

For customers who are not planning to purchase a thermal desorption system, but who have need of our services, we can perform analysis utilizing the Short Path Thermal Desorption (SPTD) in conjunction with a Gas Chromatograph (GC) and Mass Spectrometer (MS) in our laboratories. These services are limited to the time and instruments available. Our basic rate for this service is $150.00 per hour which includes instrument analysis time, report preparation and if required interpretation of the results. Our laboratories are instrumental labs, with limited solvent extraction capabilities. Therefore we request that if sample extraction is required, the customer perform this sample preparation before samples are submitted. For the techniques of purge and trap, thermal extraction and direct solid sampling SIS will prepare these samples utilizing the systems described below.

• Custom Analysis via TD/GC/MS Rate: $150.00 per hour
• Customer Analysis via TD/GC/MS per sample minimum $75.00 per sample (30 minute analysis)
