Failure Investigations

The Electron Microscopy Laboratory offers a comprehensive failure analysis service for all types of materials and products.

EMLab is able to provide a one-stop shop for failure investigations involving specialist imaging facilities coupled with chemical analysis facilities and property evaluation. The EMLab Team brings considerable experience and expertise in failure investigations and in providing solutions to the problems in materials or processing conditions.

We are flexible in our approach and we will strive to understand your needs and problems and exceed your expectations. We are able to provide the specific microscopy element of an investigation or undertake a complete programme of work.

We are able to respond quickly where required and we are able to provide live access to some of the instrumentation to facilitate a rapid transfer of information.

EMLab has extensive experience working with large and small organisations within the UK, Europe and throughout the World. We are able to work on a confidential fee-for-service basis or in a collaborative programme.
