Advanced characterisation – Expert analysis

As well as offering conventional measurement and analysis we also offer our clients unique measurement services using state-of-the-art equipment, capable of giving unprecedented insight into their systems. We work with clients on a one-to-one basis and assign experts from a pool of exceptional technicians and researchers to meet their needs. We provide timely measurement services to order, or advise on and implement measurement strategies for short or long term projects and research programmes.
