Our state of the art clean lab suite consists of 6 separate class 100 lab spaces specially designed for low concentration level sample preparation. To ensure there is minimal risk of environmental contamination from dust and metal sources our clean lab suite is metal free (including boron) and over-pressured with high purity (HEPA filtered) air. 

Our facilities are equipped for handling strong acids (including hydrofluoric acid) for sample dissolution.
