As global demand for battery recycling continues to accelerate, analytical quality assurance is becoming increasingly important across the recycling value chain. At the E-Waste World Conference & Expo 2026 in Frankfurt, FLUXANA will highlight the role of accredited black mass reference materials in improving analytical reliability and standardisation within battery recycling laboratories. Taking place on June 17–18 at Messe Frankfurt, the event gathers international experts in recycling, raw materials, and sustainable supply chains. At booth H98, FLUXANA will present specialised solutions for the comprehensive characterisation of black mass — the complex recycled material obtained from spent lithium-ion batteries. A key focus of the presentation will be FLUXANA’s black mass certified reference materials, developed to support accurate calibration, method validation, and quality control in analytical laboratories. These reference materials are designed to help laboratories achieve reliable and reproducible results when analysing challenging battery recycling matrices. In addition to certified reference materials, FLUXANA will showcase its accredited commercial analysis services using techniques such as XRF, ion chromatography (IC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and elemental analysis. Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about FLUXANA’s XRF / ICP digestion systems and international round robin programmes for analytical comparison across multiple methods and sample types. The company’s experts, Dr. Rainer Schramm and Robin Esters, will be available throughout the exhibition to discuss practical laboratory challenges, analytical workflows, and emerging trends in battery recycling analysis. With increasing regulatory and industrial demands for accurate material characterisation, FLUXANA aims to support laboratories and recyclers with robust analytical standards and reference materials tailored specifically to black mass applications.
