SwRI's texture analyzer is ideal for large-strain deformation tests of adhesive, food, and pharmaceutical products.
Projects in the Applied Power Division of Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have led to the acquisition of several new technologies and new laboratory space ideal for chemical and physical analysis.
Clients are offered evaluation and analytical services on a per-sample basis, and are offered our capabilities to solve problems and develop new technologies in larger projects.
We work closely with other SwRI divisions to provide additional expertise and analytical capabilities.
SwRI's success is based on a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to problem-solving that continually produces innovations in the presence of evolving technologies and market forces.
Doing Business with SwRI
Advantages of contracting with SwRI include:
