Ultra-Fine Particle Characterization for Environmental & Industrial Applications

SGS has expanded its applied microscopy capabilities with the addition of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)—a powerful tool for identifying and characterizing ultra-fine particles with high-resolution detail. This enhancement strengthens our ability to analyze complex sample matrices and supports a growing range of environmental and industrial investigations.

Advanced Material & Particulate Analysis Services

With TEM now part of our comprehensive toolkit, SGS delivers greater insight across a wide range of specialized services:

Asbestos Analysis
Testing air, bulk materials, dust, and water for asbestos content using PLM and PCM methods.
Applied Microscopy
Characterizing particles and materials using TEM (new) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
Wildfire Residue Analysis
Identification of soot, smoke, and char to assess combustion by-products and particulate exposure.
Lead and Metals Testing
Detection and quantification of lead and other metals using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AA)—ideal for hazardous waste analysis and regulatory compliance.
Microbiological Services
Identification and enumeration of fungi, bacteria, and pathogens including Legionella and Total Coliform/E. coli.

Backed by Trusted Accreditations

Our material and particulate analysis services are supported by accreditations from:

AIHA Laboratory Accreditation Programs, LLC (AIHA LAP, LLC)
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ELITE)
National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP)
