Particle Analysis

Eurofins Built Environment Testing offers particle and materials analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy (ATEM), in which an analysis is performed on any number of requested unknown particles or materials.  This includes total particle color mapping, particle sizing, EDS, and representative images of particles utilizing our state-of-the-art JEOL IT-200 SEM with IXRF Iridium Ultra X-Ray detection by EDS and our JEOL 1200 EX ATEMs also equipped with IXRF Iridium Ultra X-Ray detection by EDS

By utilizing our JEOL 1200 EX ATEMs with attached IXRF Iridium Ultra high angle detectors we can provide high resolution imaging and EDS and offer context between multiple intersecting samples. Eurofins Built Environment Testing offers a variety of particle analyses:

• Qualitative Analysis of All Particles reported by relative abundance, and
• Quantitative Particle Size Analyses:  Where several particles are analyzed, sized, and recorded with representative EDS and images, reported as a whole percent per material analyzed.
  • 100 Particles
  • 200 Particles
  • 500 Particles
  • 1000 Particles

Whatever the material, whatever the particle, Eurofins Built Environment Testing, utilizing our state of the art and tried and true methods of analyses, is capable of identifying inorganic unknowns.
