Nano & Micro Plastics Testing Service
NewType's testing services have been developed for federal, state, tribal, industrial, and environmental organizations.
NewType is committed to significantly lowering the cost of small plastic particulates detection and analysis. We have developed patent pending technologies to detect PET and polyesters using enzymes, and we are also investing in standardized testing using Raman Spectroscopy.
We are able to process samples from wastewater, drinking water, soil, and industrial compost.
We currently charge $300 USD per test using our patent pending enzymatic assay and $350 USD per test using Raman Spectroscopy.
Our current processing time is one week.
Please contact us today if you are interested in learning more or touring our laboratory.
PET & Polyester Enzymatic Assay
Our innovative test developed internally at NewType can detect PET and polyesters by volume. This include Nano and Micro scale particles. To our knowledge this is the lowest cost solution available today to detect PET & polyesters, the leading contaminant in most media.
Raman Spectroscopy
Using Raman Spectroscopy we are able to characterize the total amount of Micro sized particles, results include an averaged total particle count, as well as characterization of particle size and plastic type.
Testing Service Contracts
NewType offers testing contracts to qualifying organizations for both enzymatic detection assays and Raman spectroscopy testing. Our contracts include pricing and turnaround guarantees.
Plastic Particulate Data Network
We are currently seeking partners interested in the creation of an open plastic particulates testing data sharing network. Our goal is to assist academia and decision makers in aggregating and standardizing detection / particle characterization information.
