Copper analysis is a necessary scientific activity to determine the copper content in industrial and cosmetic products. The analysis of the element copper, evaluated in heavy metal analysis studies, should be carried out in fully equipped laboratories.
Copper analysis, considered necessary in the phases of raw material control of products and in the certification of their safety, is not a compulsory procedure, but is carried out in laboratories on request using various methods. The copper analysis procedures applied in our laboratory are carried out professionally with modern methods and all necessary equipment.
What is copper analysis?
What is copper analysis, which is used to determine the content of copper, one of the elements with high thermal and electrical conductivity, in industrial products? In addition to the high conductivity of copper, its antibacterial properties are also known. In this sense, the determination of the proportion of the copper element, which occupies an important place in the cosmetic industry, in the products is of great importance to ensure the reliability of the products.
Copper is the second most widely used metal in the world. Copper, which has been used for years in everything from weapons equipment to jewelry, causes the demand for metal to increase over time. In a way, the share of copper in the rise of industrialization is quite large.
The most well-known stainless property of copper is one of the main factors that increase its use in the mining and welding sector. Although there is no fixed copper value that products in the industrial and cosmetic sector should contain, it is an analytical technique that companies like to use to prove the reliability of the product.
What does copper analysis do?
What is the purpose of copper analysis, which is required in the industrial, food and cosmetic sectors? The main purpose of copper analysis is to prove the reliability of the products. Copper analysis, performed in accredited laboratories where fully equipped and modern methods are used, determines the copper value in the products in ppm. Since the regulation does not provide for mandatory performance of the copper analysis, companies request the analysis themselves.
Copper, the second most widely used metal in the world, is evaluated in the class of mineral analysis by laboratories. Laboratories offering testing services use copper analysis to check the value of copper, which is a heavy metal contained in the contents of food packaging and cosmetic products.
The metal content in the contents of food and cosmetic products is of great importance for their reliability. The high content of copper, which is also present in the human body, in food and cosmetic products has negative effects on human health. In this sense, the limits of metals that must not endanger human health are set by the regulations prepared by the state. However, since there is no upper and lower limit for the element copper, the copper analysis is carried out by institutions and companies upon request. The analysis process begins with taking samples from the products, and copper metal analysis is carried out using various methods.
Why is copper analysis performed?
Why is copper analysis performed? Copper analysis, which is performed as part of mineral analysis, one of the laboratory services, is used to test the safety of food and cosmetic products that do not pose a risk to human health.
Copper, which is also present in the human body, is important for the regular functioning of the body system. However, an excess of copper in the human body can cause conditions that negatively affect some health conditions, which also applies to packaged foods and cosmetic products.
The procedure of copper analysis, which is performed in our laboratory by our experts using innovative methods, is used to determine the copper content in the raw materials of finished food and cosmetic products. The organic matter in the sample taken from the product under analysis is broken down wet or dry, and the copper content of the product is determined using an absorption spectrometer.
The criteria to be followed in sampling and application of methods in copper analysis are specified in the standard ISO 1811. Sampling tools must be clean and dry when taking products. If necessary, materials are cleaned by selecting one of the required chemical cleaning methods. All sampling and analytical procedures required for spectrometric studies are performed by our laboratory in accordance with the standard ISO 1811.

Heavy metals, which are found exclusively in the human body, also continue to exist by being absorbed into the structure of food through the soil. Among heavy metals, copper can be considered the second most important metal.
Today, copper is one of the metals that are present in many other areas, especially in the food and cosmetic industries. It is very important to pay attention to the level of copper metal in the packaged products, especially in the food sector. Even in the human body, excess or deficiency of copper metal, which brings various diseases, is a factor that threatens human health when it is present in large amounts in food products. In this sense, the analysis of copper in products that can directly affect human health, such as food and cosmetics, has an important function thanks to the safety of the products and their protective effect on human health. You can ask us for the prices of the copper analyzes carried out by our laboratory.
The application methods of copper analysis are carried out with the latest technological equipment, which is preferred by taking advantage of technological developments. The samples taken from the foodstuffs are digested with microwave rays and the copper is determined with devices approved according to the standards of ISO.
As a normal result of industrialization, some heavy metals, especially copper, are present in almost all sectors. Copper, present in many industrial sectors such as electricity and metallurgy, is also found in the food and cosmetics sectors, which have a direct interaction with human health. However, the demand for copper analysis also includes the purpose of measuring the reliability of products in the cosmetic and food sectors.
Although the impurity limits for heavy metals are set by the government, copper has no impurity and no ideal amount. For this reason, it does not have a mandatory application property like other heavy metal analysis. As consumer awareness has increased today, copper analysis is a method preferred by food brands, especially to improve the quality of food packaging. These analyzes provide mutual trust and satisfaction for food and cosmetic companies as well as consumers.
Methods of copper analysis
Copper analysis methods used in laboratories include dry and wet cracking methods. The materials required for the dry cracking method are: Balance, flask, hot plate, flask, filter paper with black dots, furnace, funnel, porcelain crucible, pipette, muffle furnace and Kjeldahl tube.
3-4 ml of the sample is taken and placed in the crucible. However, if the product is not solid but liquid, it is kept at 110 °C for 1 day. The crucible is placed in a muffle furnace and fired at 10 °C for 2-3 hours. Then the crucible is removed from the furnace and deionized water and nitric acid are poured over it. It is placed back into the muffle furnace. The firing process is continued until all the material is burned. The crucible removed from the furnace is kept at room temperature and nitric acid is added. Then a filter paper is placed on the balloon flask together with the funnel. After adding deionized water to the filter paper, the remaining substance in the crucible is added.
In the wet combustion method, where copper analysis is used, acid combustion is performed instead of a muffle furnace. As a result of copper analysis performed by dry or wet combustion method, the amount of copper in the product is determined.
