Chemical and
Physical Analysis
We offer the following services:
|
 |
Rheology helps to understand the flow
behavior of complex fluids such as paint, polymers, gels,
and food. Our texture analyzer is ideal for large-strain
deformation tests of adhesive, food, and pharmaceutical
products. |
|
Graph charting shear rate to viscosity |
|
 |
Atomic force microscopy provides
nanometer-scale resolution of surfaces as well as local
mechanical and electrical properties of surface features. |
|
Graph showing microscopy results |
 |
Our analytical chemistry equipment is
available for analyzing unknown samples and performing
assays. |
|
Graph showing spectroscopy results |
