Services:

The Eurofins facility in Eindhoven, The Netherlands specializes in the materials analysis and reliability investigation of high tech materials and products. It also has specific expertise in the areas of:

• Chemical analysis & physical inspection of materials and objects
• Contamination control
  From validation of cleanliness for high technology manufacturing (cleanroom air, supply gasses and components) to root-cause analysis of surface contamination
• Chemical compatibility
  Understanding of chemical incompatibility, testing and proper material selection design
• Material reliability
  Resolving reliability issues, quality control support, failure analysis and corrosion testing
• Glass characterization
  Composition, Optical properties, Refractive properties, Thermal properties, Glass forming / shaping, Glass faults, Glass joining and Particle size 
• Analytical methodology
  Design of tests, experiments and data analysis

The Material Analysis lab was purchased by Eurofins EAG in December 2018 and was formerly the Materials Analysis lab of Royal Philips and Philips Lighting (now Signify).
