We work with strategic business partners offering a wide range of additional capabilities and techniques

Key techniques...

  • Dust and Cleanliness testing
  • Electron probe microanalyser (EPMA)
  • Thermal analysis (DSC, isothermal microcalorimetry, scanning microcalorimetry, semi-micro combustion calorimetry, TG/mass spectroscopy and TGA/DTA)
  • X-ray diffraction (Bruker and PANalytical)

Previous work includes...

  • Chemical analysis (e.g. GC, HPLC and XRF)
  • Chemisorption
  • Contract grinding and crushing (tonnage quantities)
  • Dynamic vapour sorption (DVS)
  • Karl Fischer titration
  • Microscopy (FTIR, Hotstage, Raman, Scanning Laser and Scanning Tunnelling)
  • Nano-indentation
  • Powder electrostatic charge
  • Scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM, ESEM with heated stage, SEM)
  • Spectroscopy (NMR)
  • Surface analysis (AES, Dynamic SIMS, TOF and XPS)
  • Transmission electron microscopy (FEGSTEM with PEELS and access to SuperSTEM)

Our sub-contractors are carefully selected and evaluated and are trusted to deliver on time to the required quality. If the technique you want is not in this list then please ask as it may have been a simple oversight on our part.
