Our Analytical Strategy
Rather than running standard tests, we work with you to understand the specific problem and select the right combination of techniques. Most materials challenges require multiple analytical methods working together:
- XRD (X-ray Diffraction) for crystalline phase identification and quantitative mineralogy
- XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) for elemental composition and chemical analysis
- SEM-EDX for microstructural details and spatial distribution
- 3D CT Image Processing for internal structure and connectivity analysis
- Optical Microscopy for particle characterization and morphology
Our 20+ years of materials science experience helps identify the most informative analysis strategy and interpret results in the context of your specific application.
Note: We are not currently certified for regulated testing applications but provide analytical services for decision-support and research purposes.
