Chemical Analysis

A chemical analysis story

It looked like silver and felt like silver—but was it?

When a man walked into one of our laboratories with the heavy metal bar in his briefcase, he was contemplating investing in several more. Chemical analysis of a sample from the bar revealed its true composition—over 90% tin, with a dash of zinc.

Chemical analysis supports every stage

For buyers like the one above, the age of global trade works best when supported by secure programs of verification and identification. Chemical analysis is a critical tool that can add value to a business by providing essential data at all stages of a product's life—from material selection to R&D to failure analysis.
