Our Analytical Process

1. Initial Characterization

• Initial review of project and consultation.

• Microscopic examination of sample

     - Stereomicroscopy

     - Polarized Light Microscopy

• Final Report

     - Narrative regarding findings and project fulfillment.

     - May include consultation regarding additional testing as needed

2. Additional Analytical Characterization

• Samples which require additional analytical instrumentation. These techniques may include:

     - FTIR Microscopy

     - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

     - Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)

• Final Report

     - Narrative regarding findings and project fulfillment.

     - May include consultation regarding additional testing as needed

     - Other Analytical Instrumentation

3. Advanced Analytical Characterization

• This is required when the initial and additional characterization methods are not adequate based on the client needs.

• May require extensive consulting time either in house or on the client's site.

• May include additional analytical services noted above or otherwise.

• Typically requires in depth research time.

• Final report(s) issued based on milestone achievement or at project close.


*Charges are based on the complexity of the sample. Some samples

require more time and specialized sample preparation.
