Contamination Analysis
National Technical Systems (NTS)
Contamination Analysis, which begins with a set of basic evaluations that on most occasions will answer the “What is this?” question. The protocol contains four parts:
*Visual Examination
*Organic Analytical Testing by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
*Elemental Analytical Testing by Scanning Electron Microscopy / Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS)
*Ionic Analytical Testing by Ion Chromatography (IC)
