At BEAM Analytical (Pty) Ltd we have extensive experience in visualizing and understanding a diverse range of materials. We can determine the elemental composition of materials using Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy combined with SEM images (limited to elements of equal or higher atomic mass than carbon), ICP-MS & GC-MS analysis, to only name a few. Correlated elemental data and scanning electron microscopy images of the material’s microscopic textures and features can be provided. BEAM Analytical has expertise in a variety of microscopic and analytical techniques.
BEAM Analytical can therefore suggest the most appropriate imaging technique to view structures or compounds in and on your materials. We will handle sample preparation, analysis design and imaging, which are obtained by a variety of microscopic techniques. Investigative analysis for the determination of particle size distribution, identification of floaters/specks/foreign objects within a product, glass analysis, asbestos testing, material/membrane surface analysis, product micro-defects/failures, multi-phase structure analysis, fracture mechanisms, and a host of other applications can be done at BEAM Analytical.
Sample Preparation
The latest sample preparation techniques are employed by our analysts. Various sputter coatings can be applied as well as conductivity enhancements to ensure that the data obtained is of a high standard of quality and accuracy.
Analysis Design
With the latest equipment we are able to offer the most comprehensive range of analyses to meet all your requirements. Our efficient and skilled team will ensure that the most appropriate method of analysis is applied to your sample to provide the data most relevant to your needs.
Investigative Analysis
Investigative analysis, is an investigative approach used for projects or industries to help solve product failure, contamination causes and product defects. The analysis is based on a review of the background information the client provides and the type of sample.
Surface Morphology
Surface morphology or analytical imaging, which is an advanced form of high spatial resolution imaging, uses sophisticated microscopes to produce images of products, samples and objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye. These images originates from the exposed surface of the sample or product. Surface structures & defects can been observed.
Elemental Identification
Elemental and chemical analysis are methods that use advanced techniques, tools and methods that directly characterize the chemical or elemental content of a material, surface, near-surface, bulk or exposed interior of a sample or product.
Industries & Projects
With the latest equipment we are able to offer the most comprehensive range of analyses.Industries currently include, but are not limited to: Engineering, Automotive, Glass manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Dentistry, Food and Wine, Medical, AIA, Chemical and Food transportation.
