Expertise in Chemical and biological analysis

RISE offers expertise in REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), the EU chemicals legislation. We support companies in meeting their regulatory obligations and ensuring that products placed on the market are safe. We combine scientific knowledge with adva…

We offer accredited laboratory analyses that ensure quality, safety and regulatory compliance in several industries – from energy, environment and construction to consumer products. With advanced equipment and broad expertise, we help companies meet international standards and environmental require…

LCA is a method of high complexity, where different methodological choices may lead to conflicting results. That is why LCA results intended for communication to external stakeholders need a high level of credibility. An LCA critical review is a standard procedure for increasing the credibility of …

Do you want to know what is on your surface or more about your new material? With our unique expertise in imaging mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), we can provide molecular information about material surfaces and image the spatial distribution of different components on a surface. 

The properties of lignin samples are to a great extent influenced by their chemical and molecular structure. RISE has long experience and advanced equipment for characterization of lignin on different structural levels. 

RISE offers various tests for analysis of PFAS in materials, goods, articles, products, water, soil and food. There is no method that measures all PFAS, but depending on what you want to know, we will choose the appropriate method(s). Contact us and we will help you.

What is normally called dilute non-condensable gases, DNCG contains a mixture of different sulfur-containing substances; hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, DMS and DMDS.

In the cellulose industry, it is crucial that process chemicals are carefully analysed, controlled and classified in order to be able to take appropriate measures in case of post-processing of materials.

Problem solving in processes and products involves analysing organic and inorganic compounds, surfaces, elements. FT-IR, light microscopy and SEM / EDX are most common but also GC-MS, separation techniques are also used to solve the problems that processes and products encounter.

UVF (Ultraviolet Fluorescence Analysis) is a non-contact method for the detection of biological materials, such as oil. RISE develops UVF systems that are adapted to challenging applications.

LIBS (Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) is a fast and non-contact method for chemical analysis. RISE develops LIBS systems that are adapted to demanding applications.

Life science and environmental sectors, forest industry and bioeconomy – wherever there is a need for chemical analysis. We develop and validate analytical methods, carry out assessments and provide quality control.

Do you have products with brass or other alloys containing lead? RISE has extensive experience in helping companies replace lead and other heavy metals. Our experts will help you to identify suitable alternatives, adapt your production processes, and evaluate the properties and corrosion resistance…

Computational models can be used for predicting chemical properties, toxicological effects or pharmacokinetic behavior when data is unavailable. Our experts can help you with model development, application of existing models, and with interpretation of results from in silico approaches within the f…

At RISE, testing, evaluation and research activities to enable the substitution of hazardous chemicals in products and processes into less hazardous alternatives are ongoing. Do you need to replace chemicals in your products, materials or processes? We can help you with this.

We have cutting-edge expertise and years of experience within analytical methods for organic compounds and their metabolites in biological matrices.

RISE is equipped with micro X-ray fluorescence (µXRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), two powerful techniques to characterise materials.

RISE has a broad and deep expertise in microbiological analysis. We develop and validate microbiological methods throughout the analysis chain from sampling and sample preparation to analysis and data processing to efficiently and correctly detect, quantify, characterize and / or identify different…

The microcalorimeter can be used to study heat released or consumed by any slow reaction under constant conditions. The method can after only hours or days detect degradation of a material, something that otherwise would have taken months or even longer to identify.
