Custom chemical analysis

Tailored organic and inorganic chemical analysis

Some examples of the possibilities:

• The impact of nanoparticles on the environment: VITO assesses how selected classes of consumer plastic products emit nanoparticles into the environment and the potential impact of these particles on life. This is achieved through a robust series of science-based protocols based on regulation and best practices.
• Insight in total organic material composition: VITO enables access to DART MS, a real time mass spectrometry screening technique able to directly measure solid and liquid materials to obtain insights into total organic material composition and search for targeted compounds.
• Non-targeted screening (NTS): Non-targeted screening (NTS) answers to the question “What is there?” using a mass spectrometry toolbox to extensively screen for unknown compounds and to deliver data visualisation in a customized dashboard tool. This enables NTS to be used in different ways, including early warning, control system and/or risk assessment.
• Human biomonitoring (HBM): VITO is developing solutions for addressing human biomonitoring, exposomics and risk assessment initiatives in a holistic way from design of study to sampling, processing, analysing and safe data management and storage. VITO’s specialist lab for tailored organic and inorganic chemical analysis works for a wide variety of sectors: all types of industry (multinationals and SME’s), NGOs, governments, research institutes and universities.
