 Scientific and technological expertise is carried out through a set of non-destructive and non-contact methods of research in the visible, ultraviolet, infrared and X-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as on the basis of the selected micro-samples in the clearly marked and designated locations for infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR), and on the basis of the complex micro-chemical analysis. The clear positioning of sampling locations allows us to compare the results with the studies in the other expertise centres.

Reference sample base
Art-Lab has an access to the existing databases of IR and Raman spectra – Irug/Infrared and Raman Users Group/, Nicodom and Kremer pigment database (the spectra of the substances used in painting/, as well as to the common databases like Interpol database, Japanese Scientific Spectral Database for Organic Compounds, etc.
BSNE Art-Lab has its own reference sample base of paints and pigments. The laboratory has bought and is constantly replenishing the samples of paints directly from the producers (the so-called “dyeings”). It also has its own spectra and has formed its own libraries.
