New lab, trusted expertise​ 

After the move was completed in November, all analytical instruments have been reinstalled, calibrated and validated. As a result, lab activities are once again running at full capacity and requests for analyses, projects and advisory trajectories can be scheduled and followed up smoothly.

What can VITO’s chemical analysis lab do for you?​

  • Tailored chemical analyses 
    From targeted measurements to non-target screenings that also give you insight into unknown or unexpected substances, we fully tailor our approach to your specific research question.​ 

  • Product and process optimisation 
    Chemical analysis helps you identify quality issues and continuously improve your products and processes.

  • Support with regulatory compliance 
    Do you want to be sure that your end product and the raw materials you work with comply with the applicable legislation? We map out their composition in full.​ 

  • Insight into risks and impact 
    Whether it concerns chemical stability, impurity detection, quality control, monitoring of nanoparticles or human biomonitoring, we help you understand what the measurement results mean for your situation, product safety or regulatory compliance.​ 

  • Development and validation of new analytical methods 
    In addition to analysis, we specialise in developing and validating new methods and protocols, for example for emerging contaminants or complex matrices.​
