Microplastics represent one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. These solid particles, smaller than 5 mm in size, can take various forms (fragments, fibers, pellets) and are present in water, sediments, and biota. Their characterization is essential to assess their impact and develop mitigation strategies.
SRA Instruments offers integrated solutions for the characterization of microplastics, based on two fundamental approaches:
1. Shape Analysis
Agilent LDIR System:
Identification of polymer type and particle morphology
Detection down to 2 µg
Ideal for studies on the distribution and diffusion of microplastics.
2. Mass Analysis
Pyrolysis-GC/MS (Frontier Laboratories):
Precise quantification of polymers (sensitivity in µg/ng)
Compliant with ASTM D8401-24
Automated process: results in just 30 minutes per sample.
Why Choose Our Solutions?
✅ Completeness: We cover every analytical step, from identification to quantification
✅ Compliance: Instrumentation aligned with international standards (ASTM, ISO)
✅ Efficiency: Automated processes for rapid and reliable results.
