The best way to summarize our services at this location is to to say that we do investigative analytical chemistry. In other words, if any product or manufacturing problem can be solved by performing analytical chemistry, we can probably do that testing in our lab!
Our first “In the Lab” video explains more about what we do! Watch now: In the Lab: Investigative Analytical Chemistry
The team at EAG Laboratories helps manufacturers find answers by using chemistry to understand product problems like strange odors.
In this video, Wendy and Carl, from EAG Laboratories in St. Louis, work together to figure out why a product has a strange or “off” odor.
As Carl illustrates in the video, we used a heated headspace experiment and heated the sample in a sealed vial. Any volatile species in the sample will migrate to the headspace in the vial which will then be analyzed by a technique called, Gas Chromatography or GC.
Through the experiment, Wendy and Carl discovered that the candle wax was full of stinky aldehydes, an organic compound that may have been introduced when the supplier was making the pellets for the wax and they were overheated.
This is just one example of the questions and challenges the team at EAG laboratories can solve for manufacturers.
It’s easy to get lost clicking through all the techniques and information on our website. The best thing to do is speak directly with one of our technical specialists (scientists). Fill out the form below or call the number at the top right corner of our website to get in touch with our technical specialists who can figure out the best way to go about designing experiments to solve your problem.
We’ll be presenting more helpful information and interesting scientific case studies in the future and we hope you’ll join us! Thank you for watching!
