SEM Analysis Services
Comprehensive SEM Analysis Services for Material Characterization, Surface Evaluation & Medical Device Applications
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is one of the most powerful analytical techniques
available for examining the surface structure, morphology, and microstructural characteristics of
materials. By producing high-resolution images at microscopic and nanoscopic scales, SEM
allows researchers, manufacturers, and product developers to better understand material
behavior, manufacturing quality, product performance, and failure mechanisms.
Organizations across the medical device, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, environmental,
industrial manufacturing, materials science, and research sectors rely on SEM analysis to
investigate surfaces, characterize materials, evaluate coatings, examine defects, and support
product development.

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.
