Contract Laboratory Services
Nanomechanics, Inc. has an independent, full service Analytical Services Laboratory for providing contract services in nanoindentation, nano-scale tensile testing, and nanomechanical characterization. Our staff includes experts in the field of nanoindentation, test technique development, data acquisition, and system control. We have decades of experience in creating test solutions for customers. Our principal mission is to enable our customers to evaluate and understand the mechanical performance of their materials on the micro- and nano-scales.
Listed below is a short list of the standard testing that we provide. Please contact us if your needs do not fit neatly into one of the categories below and we will happily discuss further testing capabilities.
