Sample preparation is a critical aspect of a successful sample analysis. Our highly trained microscopists utilize specialized micro-tools and state-of-the-art microscopes in our ISO Class 5 cleanroom. Sample preparation relies on proficient skills and steady hands in order to isolate and prepare individual particles and microscopic residues for analysis.

Sub-micrometer and smaller sized samples are routinely isolated and prepared for analysis employing techniques we have developed. Isolation and separation of the contaminant from the bulk sample or substrate is essential in order to fully understand the nature of the defect. Whether it’s foreign particulate matter in a pharmaceutical vial or a microscopic stain on an electronics chip, our cleanroom microscopists can handle a wide variety of challenges.
