Our Mission
AnalysisNow! was established to provide high quality trace element analysis of ultrapure water and chemicals to clean manufacturing operations. Utilizing a combination of state-of-the-art instrumentation and 30+ years of trace analytical experience of founder Michael T. Volosin, the organization is focused on delivering highly accurate results and superior turnaround time that meets or exceeds customer expectations. In addition, as a result of extensive experience with chemical and material properties, AnalysisNow! is uniquely qualified to consult with customers regarding a variety of contamination issues and other manufacturing concerns.
INSTRUMENTATION CAPABILITIES
LABORATORY CAPABILITIES
The 9,000 square foot laboratory contains 790 square feet of certified class 10,000 clean room space.
HOODS
Within the lab, samples are handled and prepared in class 100 laminar flow exhaust hoods.
WATER SYSTEM
Ultrapure water for all preparation and analysis procedures is provided by four Aqua Solutions (TM) water purification systems.
DETECTION
Detection levels for a variety of high purity chemicals range from 1 ppb down to 10 ppt depending on sample preparation and analysis techniques. Verified spike-recoveries as well as traceability to NIST standards assure optimum accuracy. Also, the development of a novel Vapor Phase Decomposition (VPD) system allows the quantitation of trace contaminants on a silicon wafer surface down to 1 X E9 atoms/sq.cm.
MICROWAVES
Sample preparation is enhanced by the use of two CEM CleanStar(TM) Microwave Units that allow rapid evaporation (and concentration) of chemical matrices in either Teflon® or quartz vessels. In addition, we now have three CEM MARS(TM) Microwave Units that are used for the digestion and dissolution of solid samples.
GAGE CAPABILITIES
Gage Capabiltity (60 Determinations)Â ICP/MS
