CONTRACT TESTING

GLP Contract Testing Services at FDS

Take advantage of our applications lab, where we provide Good Laboratory Practice sample testing of your research projects, through verification of test samples, and thorough demonstration of our instrumentations’ suitability to your specifications.  We maintain a fully-equipped surface science laboratory with state-of-the-art instrumentation to address a myriad of physical and chemical property characterizations on liquids, solids, suspensions, emulsions, and foams. Whether your interest lies in determining the contact angle of a liquid on a substrate, surface free energy, static and dynamic surface/interfacial tensions, the stability of your suspensions or emulsions, rheological properties, or the study of foam generation and/or decay, we can provide the results as part of a detailed analysis report.

Our testing services consist of measuring:

  • Contact Angle
  • Dynamic Contact Angle
  • Surface Free Energy (according to 9 different methods)
  • Static Surface Tension
  • Interfacial Tension
  • Dynamic Surface Tension
  • Suspension/dispersion stability
  • Cleanliness
  • Foamability
  • Any extreme applications
  • Temperature range -30°C up to 1800°C
  • Humidity and pressure controlled applications
  • High frame rate for quick wetting/adsorption testing
  • And many other specific methods for certain cases

Fields that we have done research in, but are not limited to includes:

  • Pharmaceutical Drugs
  • Paints & Varnishes
  • Detergents
  • Personal/Body Care
  • Cosmetics
  • Biomedical Equipment
  • Glass & Ceramic Surfaces
  • Adhesives
  • Oil & Petroleum
  • Sanitizers
  • Polymers (PTFE, PEEK, TPE, etc.)
  • Powders
  • Fabrics & Single Fibers
