Microanalysis

Our electron probe microanalysis instruments allow us to conduct qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of samples.

Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is a fully qualitative and quantitative method of non-destructive elemental analysis of micron-sized volumes at the surface of materials.

The technique is sensitive to the level of ppm and routine quantification to 1% reproducibility is obtained over several days.
