More than just a nuisance and a benign contaminant, dust in even the minutest amounts can spell disaster for everything from controlled room settings to low-tolerance, technical and nanotechnological environments. Dust compounds have distinctive chemical and physical characteristics that an experienced scientist can analyze from a hazardous and a preventative perspective.

Since 1981, EMSL’s dedicated team of scientists has specialized in the analysis and classification of dust contaminants across a wide variety of applications and environments. We employ a nation-wide team of experts who are ready to go to work for you at a moment’s notice, and provide you with certifiable, affordable results.

No project is too small or too large for EMSL’s laboratory network. Utilizing the latest in technology such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray for elemental analysis, Light Microscopy (reflected, phase contrast polarized light), and Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR interfaced with a light microscope ) means you’ll get the results you can count on. And our straight-forward pricing and outstanding customer dedication mean you’ll be one of thousands of satisfied customers who return to us again and again.
