Reverse engineering, in essence, is the meticulous process of unraveling the hidden composition, secret ingredients and structure of existing materials or products.
Our reverse engineering process employs a range of advanced characterization techniques, ensuring thorough analysis and understanding of the target material or product. We utilize Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify functional groups and molecular structures, facilitating precise chemical analysis. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) enables the separation and identification of individual components within complex mixtures, offering detailed insights into chemical compositions.
Furthermore, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides valuable information about molecular structures and configurations, complementing our analytical arsenal. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is utilized to assess the absorption and transmission characteristics of materials, aiding in the determination of molecular properties and concentrations. Additionally, we employ other characterization techniques such as thermal analysis and mechanical testing to comprehensively evaluate material properties and behavior.
