Unlocking the Secrets of Your Materials: The Power of Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) with Eurolab
In todays competitive business landscape, accurate and reliable material analysis is crucial for success. Companies across various industries rely on laboratory services to ensure the quality and authenticity of their products. One such powerful analytical technique that has revolutionized the field of materials science is Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA). As a leading provider of laboratory services, Eurolab offers state-of-the-art NAA technology to help businesses unlock the secrets of their materials.
What is Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA)?
Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a non-destructive and highly sensitive analytical technique that detects and quantifies elements in a sample by bombarding it with neutrons. This process induces radioactivity in the sample, allowing for the identification and measurement of specific elements. NAA is particularly useful for detecting trace elements, isotopic ratios, and impurities at levels undetectable by other methods.
Why Choose Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) with Eurolab?
Eurolabs NAA service offers numerous benefits to businesses seeking accurate material analysis:
High Sensitivity and Selectivity: NAA can detect elements in concentrations as low as parts per billion, making it ideal for detecting trace impurities or isotopic ratios.
Multi-Element Analysis: A single NAA run can provide data on multiple elements, reducing the need for separate analyses and saving time and resources.
Non-Destructive Analysis: Samples remain intact after analysis, allowing for further testing or use in production.
Low Sample Preparation: Minimal sample preparation is required, making NAA a cost-effective option compared to other analytical techniques.
Fast Turnaround Time: Eurolabs experienced staff and advanced technology ensure rapid analysis times, getting you the results you need quickly.
Comprehensive Reporting: Detailed reports provide clear and accurate information on elemental composition, enabling informed decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the sample preparation required for NAA?
A: Minimal sample preparation is necessary, typically involving drying or grinding samples to a fine powder.
Q: How long does an NAA analysis take?
A: Analysis times vary depending on the complexity of the analysis and the number of elements detected. Typically, results are available within 24-48 hours.
Q: Is NAA destructive to samples?
A: No, NAA is non-destructive, allowing for further testing or use in production after analysis.
Q: Can NAA detect all elements?
A: While NAA can detect a wide range of elements, some elements may not be detected due to their low sensitivity. Eurolabs experienced staff will determine the best analytical approach based on your sample requirements.
