At PMI Analytical Services, we are committed to helping you obtain the information you need. Because there are multiple techniques and instruments, it is critical at the onset to identify the appropriate method of measurement. We begin by discussing your application with you, learn the results you need to obtain, and then recommend a specific test or combination of tests that will provide the most comprehensive results.

While PMI provides you with a detailed report, our application engineers are always available to discuss and help interpret your results.

We can analyze your samples and return your results to you (hard copy or on disk, via email, fax, or US Postal service) in as little as 1-2 business days.
