Sample Analysis

In our own laboratory, we can offer the following techniques on either a sample-by-sample or contract basis for sample testing by ASTM, DIN and British Standard methods. All work is backed up by calibration with certificated materials to appropriate standards.

  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  • Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG / TGA)
  • Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA)
  • Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA / DMTA)

    Sample turnaround within 48 hours from receipt of samples (by prior agreement and depending on number of samples/tests requested).

    Data presentation and reporting is made using Microsoft Word format documents or Adobe PDF documents and emailed to you directly the work is completed. Raw data may be provided, if required, in ASCII, TXT or Microsoft Excel format.

    Pricing is on a per sample basis, but for typically, for a single one-off DSC or TGA test on a material in duplicate, the pricing is £50 - £100 +VAT although in some circumstances a set-up & calibration fee may be applied. For ongoing testing or in certain other circumstances different rates may apply.
