Dust Analysis

SEM Particle Analysis BSE in dustUnderstanding and identifying dust particles can be needed for many reasons. You might be worried about the health and safety of your workers, or concerned about contamination of your products, or for regulatory authorities looking for evidence for cleanroom or healthcare products. LPD Lab Services has many years of experience in the analysis of dust to provide information on its composition. This can often give useful insight into the origin, and help in the elimination or treatment of the source of the dust.

The aim of dust particle identification analysis is to gain additional information other than size and volume about dust samples. It will also to identify or characterise specific microscopic and microstructure contaminants that can be then controlled or removed from components or manufacturing processes.

LPD has a wide range of techniques that can be used these include:
