 Do you quickly want to know which substance is involved? abcr stands for quality assurance through product control provided by our analysis laboratory or our service partners upon request. Whether characterisation or preparation of chemicals – we provide clarity:  

  • Modern analysis methods
  • NMR spectroscopy for various cores (1H, 13C, 19F, 29Si, 31P, 11B) 
  • Various 2D-NMR procedures: COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY.
  • GC-MS
  • Water determination by means of Karl Fischer titration
  • ICP-OES, mercury AAS
  • Content determination
  • CHN elementary analysis
  • Chloride determination (potentiometric)
  • Melting point determination 
  • REM-EDX 
  • AOX/EOX determinations
  • IR spectroscopy
  • X-ray structural analysis
  • Rotation value determination
  • Particle size distribution
  • Viscosity determination 

Process control: We guarantee the security and quality of our processes via audit trail & QM clearance. We are continuously providing further training for our employees as we perform internal and external audits.   

  • Creation of customer-specific work processes and instructions (SOP)
  • Corrective and preventative measures

Monitoring of logistics processes:

In our logistics process, one cog engages another – smooth, precisely coordinated, according to applicable regulations and the six-eye principle. The current Ordinance on Hazardous Substances and EU ordinances according to REACH and CLP constitute the foundation of our work. All product and process data are maintained, documented and saved in our software-supported and integrated inventory control system. We thereby realise process and product security via gapless traceability of products and deliveries.
