Consulting Services

Our expert team of Ph.D. materials scientists and chemists enhances your materials or processes to meet requirements and gain advantages over competitors. We apply decades of experience, cross-industry knowledge, and diverse expertise to serve as a cost-effective partner, augmenting current R&D capabilities or capacity. Combining consulting services with laboratory analytical services proves advantageous since materials can be complex and unpredictable. While experience is invaluable, thorough materials characterization data is crucial for solving materials problems. We also support consultants needing laboratory services.

Expert Witness Services

Our Ph.D. scientists, recognized for their extensive experience and expertise in materials science and chemistry, provide expert witness services. We offer testimony for legal matters involving materials failure or degradation, intellectual property theft, misrepresentation, failure to meet contract specifications, materials identification and characteristics, and quality and safety issues. To ensure accuracy and integrity, we independently analyze the relevant materials in most cases.

For example, the microscopic image below shows sand coated to produce grout of varying colors. XPS analysis of the coating composition and its degree of coverage was part of an intellectual property theft investigation. Our analytical results helped our client win the case.
