Wet chemistry plays a critical role in mining analysis

The mining industry relies heavily on analytical chemistry in wet labs for various purposes, including ore identification, extraction process optimization, and environmental monitoring. Wet chemistry techniques such as acid digestion and gravimetric analysis help determine metal content in ore samples, while analytical chemistry techniques like atomic spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence are used for elemental analysis. These methods also play a crucial role in analyzing wastewater and tailings to detect contaminants and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. 

A complete line of products is available through Avantor for your analytical lab, including laboratory glassware, plasticware, filter paper, fume hoods, laboratory furniture, laboratory hot plates and hot plate/stirrers.
 

Analytical Chemistry Supplies

A selection of spectrometers and other equipment and materials needed to determine the atomic identity of samples.

A technique through which the amount of an analyte can be determined through the measurement of mass.

Titrators force samples to react with a reagent solution whose concentration is known resulting in a reaction which identifies the sample.

pH and multi-parameter meters accurately provide the quick water quality measurements essential for electrochemistry research.

Measure the fluorescent X-rays that are emitted from samples when X-rays are projected onto samples from an outside source. 

Laboratory Safety & Maintenance

Personal protection equipment in a laboratory or other workplace helps reduce your exposure to workplace hazards. 

A complete line of chemical handling, storage, facility maintenance supplies, and waste management products from brands you trust.

Wet lab Equipment

Ovens uniformly heating or drying samples using gravity convection or forced fan-blown air circulation.

The compact benchtop centrifuges provide exact speed control when separating sample contents.

Balances provide high precision and reliable mass measurements with fast stabilization timing.

Laboratory blenders are powerful and durable for grinding, blending, chopping, and processing.

Fume hoods provide the necessary protection for both the working materials and personnel.

When handling organic liquid samples, the heating mantles are alternatives to Bunsen burners and hotplates.

Less hazardous than baths, the hotplates uniformly heat substances for any required procedure.

Microscopes are used for seeing objects that are too small for the naked eye, or where greater detail is needed for sample analysis.

These rugged pH and multi-parameter meters accurately provide the quick water quality measurements essential for electrochemistry research.

Pipettors are commonly used to transport specific liquid volumes. Containing certain volumes, the delivered quantities are consistent and reproducible.

Stirrers are used ubiquitously in laboratories for simple mixing procedures with solutions of varying viscosities and heating needs.

Using the analysis method, titrators force samples to react with a reagent solution whose concentration is known.

Vacuum pumps can be used in various applications including pressure vacuum filtration, precious metal recovery, process control, and pneumatic controls.

Water purification systems are useful for delivering water free of mineral ions such as sodium, calcium, iron, copper, chloride, and sulfate.

Plasticware & Glassware

Graduated and non-graduated laboratory beakers allow contents to be efficiently mixed, analyzed, and transported safely.

Glass and plastic bottles are chemically and biologically inert, allowing volatile organic substances or non-hazardous chemicals to be contained for an extended time.

Burettes are devices used typically in analytical, quantitative chemistry applications for measuring liquid solution or gases.

Carboys are rigid containers primarily used for transporting liquids, often water or chemicals.

Cylinders are useful to measure the volume of a liquid solution in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Desiccators create and maintain dry environments to ensure sample stability.

Funnels assist with the easy transference of liquids or powders into containers.

Completely control the small quantity of liquid being manually dispensed with the Pasteur and transfer pipettes.

Test and sample tubes are suited for a wide variety of applications and are available in round or flat bottom.

Select a wide range of tubing varieties that can be suited for changing variables link heat, chemical exposure, and flexibility.

Wet Lab Tools & Supplies

Clay or porcelain cups used for annealing gold buttons and for ignition of precipitates, like barium sulfate, copper sulfide, silica, etc.

Multi-layer bench protectors serve as an essential countertop barrier against corrosive spills, heated samples, or equipment vibrations.

Clamps are necessary for substance flow in tubing or providing the key piece for retort stand assembly in any laboratory

Crucibles contain solutions to be dried for constant weight using extreme temperatures then to be ashed for minimizing weight. 

Many grades of filter paper are available for performing various laboratory applications from coarse to fine filtration of particulates.
