Need to identify the composition of contaminants, particulates, filter debris, stains, metals, plastics or other polymeric materials? M+P Labs can determine the chemical composition of virtually any material, metallic or non-metallic.

M+P Labs offers a wide variety of analytical techniques to identify the composition of materials including:

· Wet chemical analysis

· Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)

· Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS)

· Electron microprobe (upgraded SEM-EDS)

· Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES)

· Ion Chromatography (IC)

· Carbon and sulfur analyzer

· Thermal analysis

· Microscopy

For example, M+P Labs has determined that …

… metal flakes mysteriously appearing in Styrofoam cups were being caused by the deterioration of the air ducts above the manufacturing process

… to replace a gasket in-kind, a viton gasket must be utilized.

... damage was caused to a power plant because a repair tool was left inside the equipment during start-up.

… uv-coated polypropylene lenses were being contaminated by fibers from the clothing donned by employees.

… a metal component was not being heat treated properly, making it prone to intergranular attack. Detection prior to installation reduced the risk for failure, safety and environmental exposures.

M+P Labs Quality Assurance:

The rigorous quality assurance requirements mandated by these industry quality standards: ISO 17025, Nadcap (aerospace and defense industry) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B (nuclear utility industry) are applied to each and every job we perform, regardless of whether it requires conformance to any of these accreditations.
