Our goal is to create unique and effective solutions to complex problems through the use of innovative technologies.
Because the properties of solids depend significantly on their composition, physicochemical studies is crucial in understanding and predicting the behavior of various materials and substances, It involves the measurement of various physical properties of systems, most often phase transition temperatures and other thermal properties (thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal expansion), electrical properties (conductivity, dielectric permittivity), and optical properties (refractive index, rotation of the plane of polarization of light).
At Copal we have all the technical means and the expertise needed to examine the physical and chemical characteristics of all kinds of substances and materials.

Within vibration spectroscopy is Raman spectroscopy, which for years has been positioned as an excellent technique for identifying compounds given its speed in analysis, as it is a non-destructive technique that does not pose any risk to the operator. that requires very little amount of evidence and that offers molecular information. Matter, at the molecular atomic level, has quantized vibration energy in atoms and molecules, which, when conveniently stimulated with a beam of monochromatic light, produces a dispersion effect of electromagnetic radiation, offering a unique identifying signal for each material. The fact that each material has its own identifying spectral fingerprint allows us, at the same time, to propose this system as a forensic analysis for comparing contaminants with the places where it is suspected that a spill has been made, being able to recognize the origin of the pollution. This qualitative analysis is very useful for the identification of all types of compounds, being a technique widely used in the laboratory.
It is a spectroscopic technique that uses electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared regions to study the absorption, reflection and transmission of light by a sample. UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy is used to analyze the molecular structure and chemical composition of a wide variety of samples, including solids, liquids and gasses. It is a non-destructive technique used in a wide range of fields, including materials science, nanotechnology and biology.
Nanotechnology is, in essence, the production and/or manipulation of materials at nanometric size, that is, in the range of one billionth of a meter, below the size of viruses and close to atomic dimensions. Specifically, the most surprising effects of matter are found between 1 and 100 nm, in the diffuse threshold between Classical Physics and Quantum Mechanics, where matter behaves differently than it does at macrometric size. These quantum effects are varied and include the modulation of the dispersion of light that affects certain types of nanoparticles with specific sizes, shapes and materials, generally metallic, the interaction with the atoms or molecules of matrices of other materials to alter their properties. original physicochemical tests, or the possibility of creating sensors that intensify the detection of molecules up to a million times, considerably lowering their instrumental detection limit, among others.
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to measure the fluorescence emitted by a sample when it is exposed to light. Fluorescence occurs when a molecule absorbs photons (light) and then re-emits them at a longer wavelength, typically visible light. This emission is due to the molecule transitioning from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, and it can provide valuable information about the chemical composition, structure, and environment of the sample.
