Ionic Contamination Measurement

Analytical servicesIonic Contamination Measurement

The ionic contamination measurement (ROSE Test) is an extractive analysis technique, in order to determine average ionic contamination on a component assembly. By using contaminometer or omegameter, the total ionic content is calculated as an equivalent to sodium chloride, enabling a comparable quantitative resolution of the contamination on the board.

When is an ionic contamination measurement useful?

• Ionic contamination measurement is suitable as a basis for post-soldering proof of purity per official regulations, verifying surface quality following cleaning, and prior to subsequent coating or bonding processes

• NaCl. Quantitative determination of the ionic contamination on your assemblies in μg/cm² equiv. NaCl

• Basis for internal quality standards

• Continuous monitoring of quality through regular sample-based measurement

We offer:

• Identification of the ionic contamination on your electronic assemblies (maximum size 350 x 250 x 80 mm / 14” x 10” x 3.1”)

• Performed in accordance with IPC test method TM-650 2.3.25

• Evaluation of the measurement result in accordance with IPC Standard J-STD-001
