Microplastics are small plastic particles of less than 5 mm in length that are found throughout the environment (including in water, air, and soil), in food and feed and even within living organisms. They can come from the breakdown of larger plastic items or be intentionally manufactured for use in products like cosmetics and cleaning supplies.
We are partnered with our parent company IEH to provide expedited testing and comprehensive analysis by LDIR (Laser Direct Infrared) imaging spectroscopy. The LDIR technique offers a fast, accurate, and automated approach to microplastic analysis.
IEH LDIR testing services provide detailed reports on the identification and quantification of microplastics in food, water and environmental samples, helping the food industry to understand and mitigate the impact of microplastics on their products and the environment.
