Chemical and materials testing on a wide range of products. I use my years as an analytical chemist to help product owners determine the best chemical testing methods for failure analysis, product improvement, quality assurance, and sustainability. We have a breadth of materials, chemical, and sustainability testing capabilities to help ensure product success. I act as an interpreter between product owners and chemists to find answers for our clients.
