This process involves reverse engineering to separate and identify individual components of a formulated consumer products.
The approach for a deformation analysis will vary depending on the sample characteristics needed.
Some include:
- Gas Chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
- High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)
- Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)
- Inductively coupled plasma (ICP)
- Thermogavimetric analysis (TGA)
- Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
