Consumer Product Testing

New Federal legislation known as the CPSIA has set stringent limits on the hazardous materials allowed in children's products.

Fuel/Biodiesel Testing

We offer identification of contaminants in gasoline and diesel fuel as well as ASTM testing of biodiesel and ethanol-based fuels.

Transformer Oil Analysis

Electrical transformer oil is an indicator of the overall state of the transformer, testing can provide early detection of potential failure.

Electron Microscopy

Analysis of metal fragments or particulate matter by scanning electron microscope can greatly expedite problem solving.

Failure Analysis and Consulting

With varied experience both in product and aerospace R&D as well as litigation services, we can help you efficiently solve your problems.

Elemental and Molecular Analysis

Material identification is an essential parts of what Lab/Cor, we can use FTIR, HPLC, SEM/EDS, XRF, and GC to identify your substances.

Lab/Cor Materials has recently acquired a HPLC system with both UV-Vis and Fluorescence detectors. This new system adds multiple capabilities to the already extensive list of analysis Lab/Cor Materials is able to perform. Some notable new methods we are able to run include: Formaldehyde analysis by HPLC in accordance with European Union analysis standards to show safety of hair and cosmetic products, fuel analysis and separation targeting polar species that leads to deposit formation, and drug degradation and identification by HPLC fluorescence.

Lab/Cor Materials is also capable of designing custom methods and analysis to meet any of the diverse needs of our clients. Contact our lab to consult with one of our chemists and receive a free quote at 206-508-1470.
