Our Analytical & Consultancy Services
At
MCA
Services
we
apply
the
latest,
state-of-the-art
instrumentation
to
our
materials
analysis
options.
Combined
with
decades
of
experience
in
our
analytical
techniques
across
a
wide
range
of
applications
and
sectors,
you
are
assured
quality
analyses
and
expert
data
presentation
and
interpretation.
We
routinely
liaise
with
our
clients
to
select
the
most
appropriate
options
and
to
interpret
the
analytical
data,
ensuring
you
obtain
the most pertinent information and maximum knowledge of your samples and your applications.
Our extensive porosimetry analysis options apply several different techniques to provide extensive characterisations of pore volume, area and size
distributions
of
pores
in
the
range
0.3
nm
to
650
µm.
Complimentary
density,
absolute
porosity,
specific
surface
area
and
permeability
measurements
mean
that
a
full
characterisation
of
the
porous
nature
of
sample
materials
can
be
obtained
and
related
to
their
properties
and
performance.
MCA
Services
also
offers
further
complementary
analytical
options
via
chemisorption
and
temperature
programmed
analyses
to
combine knowledge of sample porosity with chemical activity.
The
list
below
provides
an
indication
of
the
analytical
options
available
at
MCA
Services
and
individual
pages
from
the
menu
above
provide
more
in depth detail of the analytical techniques and the information they provide.
