Sanair Analytical Laboratories located in Powhatan, VA offers in-house analytical identification services for asbestos, lead and metals, microbes, and other materials. Their services include asbestos identification through PLM, PCM, and TEM analysis of airborne fibers, bulk samples, asbestos in water and dust. For lead and metals, they identify total concentrations in paint, soil, air and dust. They also offer microbial identification through viable and non-viable air, bulk and swab analysis as well as Legionella testing. Other services include optical and particle identification of materials like fibers, minerals and chemicals.
Deposition of Metal and Transition Metal Nanostructures by Galvanic Displacem...Minh Tran
Metal and transition metal nanostructures are of great interest due to their applicability in various areas such as catalysis, sensing, and optoelectronics. Here we report the formation of palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co) nanostructures by galvanic displacement technique. The synthesis method essentially consists of immersing a silicon (Si) substrate in hydrofluoric (HF) acid for 2 min., followed by immersing the substrate in metal or transition metal precursor solution for 5 min. These steps are repeated several times to obtain the desired density of the nanostructures. A series of experiments was performed to monitor the density and morphology of the synthesized nanostructures, and the results were correlated to the number of times the above steps were repeated. Thus, a good control over the nanostructure density was obtained. Further, we investigated the effect of chemical additives, like sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), on the morphology and density of the nanostructures. The characterization of all the above nanostructures was performed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (EDS), and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV-Vis).
