EUROFINS STATS work with research institutions and specialised scientific organisation to provide niche technical services on failure analysis of metals and non-metals for products. We customise solutions for diagnosis using advanced instrumentation and offering solutions that will assist to arrest the issue of future failures.
METALS
Our hypothesis of failure will include a complete analysis of your product, testing the total environment and condition of metal parts and sub-assemblies, including the micro-structure level.
Our services includes:
- Contamination Analysis
- Chemical Verification
- Corrosion Analysis
- Fiber Identification
- Fractography
- Macro Etching
- Microstructure Evaluation
- Photo Documentation
- Physical Testing
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and EDS
- TEM/ FIB
- Surface Contamination
- Weld Evaluation
NON-METALS
The rising demands on new materials causes an increasing need for sophisticated applications of materials including: plastics, composites, adhesives, coatings and paint. We deploy different techniques to identify base materials and contaminants, and analytical techniques to characterize sources of fractures and failures.
- Adhesive Identification
- Contaminant Identification
- Paint Identification
- Fractography
- Physical Testing
- Photo Documentation
- Surface Contamination
Contamination Analysis of Trace Chemicals & Metals
EUROFINS STATS has the capability to perform trace metals analysis by using state of the art instrumentation like ICP/MS, GC/MS, GC/NPD, Ion Chromatography to detect and identify trace and ultra-trace chemicals, and metals contamination in a wide range of materials, products and processes. Trace metals and organic analysis can be critical to product development, quality control and regulatory compliance by providing important data to help both process improvement and chemical product formulation development.
Additionally, our chemists are proficient in method development and validation across a range of sample types to offer tailored single or multi-element analysis services as required including multi-analyte packages for analysis of heavy metals and organics. We are able to provide a clear and precise identification of all elements in a product as trace chemicals and metals contamination analysis is available to parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb) and parts per trillion (ppt) detection levels, depending upon the sample-matrix and technique used.
