We develop and supply analytical methods and products that help organisations manage risks, maintain safe working conditions, and meet legal requirements.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:14;699-712\">Who we are<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:346;714-1059\">SEEF focuses on the detection and analysis of Cr(VI) and related hazardous substances. Our patented analytical methods have been developed and validated for complex matrices where standard methods, such as NEN 5617, produce unreliable results due to matrix interference. We work for clients in construction, aviation, energy, and heavy industry.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:14;1115-1128\">What we do<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\" data-sourcepos=\"19:1-22:83;1130-1514\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:134;1130-1263\"><strong>Laboratory analyses:<\/strong> Patented methods for reliable Cr(VI) detection and quantification in paint, coatings, insulation, and air.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:55;1264-1318\"><strong>Test kits:<\/strong> Products for rapid on-site screening.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:113;1319-1431\"><strong>Advisory services:<\/strong> Support with risk analysis, exposure assessment, and implementation of safety measures.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:83;1432-1514\"><strong>Training:<\/strong> Training in safe working methods and correct use of SEEF products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:30;1516-1545\">Why clients work with SEEF<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:287;1547-1833\">SEEF&#8217;s patented method is designed to handle matrix interference from metals such as zinc, aluminium, and copper. At 4 % zinc, our method achieves 89 % recovery where NEN 5617 reaches only 24 %. In practice, this means results that hold up in matrices where standard methods fall short.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:189;1835-2023\">We combine on-site sampling, laboratory analysis, interpretation, and advice in a single service. Clients receive a complete picture without needing to coordinate between multiple parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:140;2025-2164\">Our methods have been validated across multiple analysts without operator-dependent variation. SEEF works in accordance with ISO\/IEC 17025.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"32:1-32:15;2166-2180\">Our mission<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:192;2182-2373\">SEEF supports organisations in managing hazardous substances, with a focus on working environments where Cr(VI) poses a health risk.
