XPS Analysis Services
Comprehensive XPS Analysis Services for Surface Chemistry, Material Characterization & Medical Device Applications
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is an advanced surface analysis technique used to
determine the elemental composition, chemical state, and surface chemistry of materials.
Because many products interact with their environment through their outermost surface,
understanding surface composition is essential for medical device development, biomaterials
research, coatings, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and materials
science.
Organizations rely on XPS analysis to investigate surface modifications, evaluate coatings,
characterize biomaterials, verify manufacturing processes, support product development, and
better understand material performance.

What Is XPS Analysis?
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), sometimes referred to as Electron Spectroscopy for
Chemical Analysis (ESCA), is a highly sensitive analytical technique that measures the
elemental composition and chemical state of the outermost surface of a material.
XPS analysis is commonly used to evaluate:
- Surface chemistry
- Elemental composition
- Chemical bonding
- Oxidation states
- Surface contamination
- Thin films
- Surface treatments
- Coatings
- Biomaterials
- Medical device surfaces
- Product consistency
- Research materials
Because XPS analyzes only the outer few nanometers of a material, it is particularly valuable for applications where surface properties influence product performance.

PFAS Water Testing
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as one of the most critical environmental and public health concerns worldwide. Often referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS compounds are highly persistent, resistant to degradation, and capable of accumulating in water systems, soil, and the human body over time.
Drinking Water Contaminant Analysis
Drinking water is one of the most critical resources for public health, and even trace levels of contaminants can pose serious risks. Contamination may originate from natural sources, industrial activities, aging infrastructure, or environmental exposure, making regular and precise testing essential.
Heavy Metal Testing
Heavy metals such as lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) are among the most critical contaminants monitored across industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, and environmental systems.
Water Testing
Drinking water quality directly impacts public health, industrial operations, and regulatory compliance. Whether supplied through municipal systems, private wells, or industrial infrastructure, water must meet strict safety standards to ensure it is free from harmful contaminants.
