Enhancing Halogen & Sulfur Monitoring in Challenging Samples

Halogens and sulfur play a critical role in industrial processes and environmental health. Their presence can impact product quality, equipment integrity, and regulatory compliance—from corrosion in refineries to persistent pollutants like PFAS in water and consumer products. With global regulations tightening and industries seeking more reliable solutions, laboratories need advanced tools that deliver consistent and precise results.

This whitepaper presents a comprehensive overview of modern strategies for halogen and sulfur determination in complex matrices, highlighting the benefits of combustion-ion chromatography (C-IC) as a streamlined, automated solution for even the toughest samples.
