Automotive
Luvak provides accredited compositional analysis of automotive alloys, components, and supply-chain materials, including materials used in electric vehicles. As an ISO/IEC 17025 and Nadcap accredited laboratory with more than 50 years in materials testing, we give manufacturers and suppliers fast, accurate verification across the supply chain.
What We Test for Automotive
Consistent material verification helps control quality and reduce risk from incoming supply through finished components.
EV & Battery Materials
Metals by spectroscopy and anions by ion chromatography; scope varies with battery chemistry.
Our Analysis Methods
ICP Elemental Analysis
Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to ASTM E2371, E1479, E2594, and E3061
A versatile, efficient method run on the SPECTRO ARCOS FHX22, providing one of the most accurate testing methods available today.
DCP Elemental Analysis
Direct current plasma emission spectroscopy (DCPES) to ASTM E1097 and E2371.
A classic optical method run on the Beckman Spectra Span VI, backed by more than 30 years of experience.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Flame atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy to ASTM E663.
Less prone to spectral interference, AA provides accurate detection of trace metals using the Perkin Elmer 3030B.
Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption
Graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA) to ASTM E1184.
An electric furnace and multiple heating steps remove interferences and isolate the target element, giving sub-ppm determination of trace metals on the Shimadzu AA6650.
