Lorena Francini

I am a researcher specialising in inorganic analytical chemistry, with expertise in chemical metrology, method development, validation and measurement quality. My work supports both research projects and industrial applications through chemical characterisation, elemental analysis and analytical problem solving using techniques such as ICP-MS, ICP-OES, LC-ICP-MS, XRF and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

A particular area of expertise is chemical metrology, where I focus on measurement traceability, uncertainty evaluation and the reliability of analytical results. I support customers and research partners in developing robust analytical methods and generating reliable data for decision-making, product development and compliance.

As Quality Coordinator, I work with quality assurance, accreditation and regulatory compliance, helping customers and colleagues understand requirements and identify effective compliance strategies. I am also the primary contact for toy analysis and toy safety regulations, supporting customers with testing strategies and compliance with European requirements.

My professional experience includes work at both the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA) and the National Metrology Institute of Uruguay (LATU), providing an international perspective on measurement science and quality assurance.

By combining analytical chemistry, measurement science, quality management and regulatory expertise, I help customers translate complex analytical and regulatory challenges into reliable and actionable results
