We do see more than others –
Center for Applied Analytics ZAA

Analytical services for industry, chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, diagnostics, mechanical engineering and cosmetics.

 

The Center for Applied Analytics ZAA at the Fraunhofer ISC in Würzburg offers its customers and project partners a comprehensive portfolio of analytical and test procedures as well as unique preparation methods. As an analytical laboratory, our focus is on the analysis of polymers, glasses, chemicals, mineral fibers and in the field of medical technology.

In addition to many standard test methods, our core competences also include rare test procedures, development and construction of test and inspection methods. In combination with well-founded material expertise from various fields, test results are precisely interpreted and, if desired, assistance in solving the individual problem is offered.  

We are well equipped to meet the requirements of research and development and also offer our partners from industry and economy the optimization of production processes and accompanying quality assurance.

 

You can expect:

  • A very broad interdisciplinary portfolio of analyses:
    Many possible combinations to quickly obtain meaningful information, especially in the event of damage
  • An almost artifact-free sample preparation:
    uniquely sharp insights into diverse materials and any combination of materials (including concrete, biological materials, wood, adhesives, metal)
  • A sound interpretation of the results:
    from inorganics to cell structures, if necessary by experienced material scientists from the Fraunhofer ISC

Our broadly diversified portfolio

 

Damage Analysis

 

In addition to meaningful analysis results and measurement data, we offer a technically sound evaluation and interpretation of the results for material and process optimization based on the available information.

 

Chemical Analysis

 

Accredited analytics of glass and ceramic products: from the wet chemical characterization of container glass according to e.g. ISO 4802 to the full analysis of the material by ICP-OES or XRF.

 

Mechanical
Materials Testing

Chemical and physical material characterization (building materials, glasses, plastics) according to the current state of the art, according to standard or individually compiled - according to your needs.

 

 

Sample Preparation


Our ion beam preparation offers an almost artifact-free preparation of various materials and any combination of materials (including concrete, biological materials, wood, adhesives, metal) for brilliantly sharp images.

Nanomaterials /-particles


In both classical and transmission electron microscopes, we possess a key technology for imaging the particles and determining their size distribution, chemical composition, structure and morphology.

Surface and Layer Analysis


We offer individual solutions for the characterization of surface and layer structures as a basis for subsequent processing or defect evaluation. 

Physical Properties of Glass


We have numerous physical methods for the characterization of glass, glass ceramics and enamels.

Thermal
Analysis


Various methods of thermal analysis in combination with related techniques offer optimal possibilities for characterizing even small samples.
