The facility offers Analytical Services using Elemental Analyzer and accepts samples not only from DLSU researchers but also from outside clients (academe, government, and industry) for a fee (please see the schedule of fees).

Elementar Unicube Organic Elemental Analyzer: Complete sample digestion at up to 1,200 °C (or 1,800 °C at the point of combustion when tin foil is used), separation of gaseous components via Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) column

The DLSU Spectroscopy Laboratory offers the following services:

  • Simultaneous analysis of C, N, H, S or for the combination of CNS-, CHN-, CN-, O-, and Cl-

Elemental analysis is charged per sample.
