Forensic Identification
Unknown Compound Identification
Multi-technique identification for mystery compounds, contaminants, competitive samples, and process byproducts.
Identification package includes
- Screening with FTIR, HPLC, LC-MS, and NMR as appropriate
- Library matching, molecular formula clues, and candidate shortlisting
- Reference standard comparison or structural confirmation when needed
- Actionable findings and next-step recommendations
Standards & Certifications
Who this is for
Teams that need clear analytical answers without extra intake friction.
Contamination investigators
Unknown residue, foreign material, and source determination support.
Process and formulation teams
Unexpected byproducts, leachables, degradation products, and raw material contaminants.
IP and competitive analysis teams
Confidential reverse-engineering and product comparison support.
What you receive
A concise testing package with the documentation needed to act on the result.
Identification strategy
- Sample assessment
- Technique selection
- Confirmation pathway
Analytical evidence
- Spectra and chromatograms
- Library or standard matches
- Candidate compound rationale
Interpretive report
- Likely identity
- Confidence notes
- Recommended next steps
Identification workflow
The goal is a defensible answer, not just a single instrument readout.
Screen
Use broad-spectrum techniques to narrow compound class, functional groups, and molecular features.
Compare
Match against libraries, known materials, retained samples, or reference standards when available.
Confirm
Use orthogonal techniques and expert interpretation to strengthen the identification.
