Before nanoparticles may be implemented into systems, they must be evaluated for characteristic properties that will determine their ultimate use, as well as establish if existing manufacturing and processing techniques adequately meet the needs they’re intended for.

Testing for shape, size, distribution and aggregation of nanoparticles is a key component to their successful implementation. Surface characteristics need to be evaluated and weighed against purity, stability and solvent compatibility.

We utilize the latest in 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 ) to provide you with technology that give you the certified results you need.
