Surface Analysis
Intertek surface analysis laboratories can visualize and measure microscopic features and microstructures to nano-scale dimensions
Surface and structural materials analysis includes microstructural characterisation of materials, including polymers, films, coatings, geological and mineral samples, pharmaceuticals, raw materials, metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, food, dust, contaminants and other sample types.
Surface anlaysis expertise includes particle analysis and identification, such as the elemental analysis of solid samples, detection of impurities and identification of physical and chemical defects. Surface sensitive analyses also include: Thin film analysis, depth profiling, penetration studies, and cleanliness studies. The surface science laboratories provide analytical expertise to support research, forensic, troubleshooting, quality control and more.
