Industries We Serve
Independent Scientific Testing, Characterization & R&D Support Across Diverse Industries
Modern products and technologies depend on materials, formulations, components, and biological systems that must perform reliably under demanding mechanical, chemical, thermal, environmental, and application-specific conditions. From medical devices and aerospace components to cosmetics, consumer products, polymers, electronics, energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing, reliable laboratory data are essential for product development, quality control, troubleshooting, and technical decision-making.
Materials Metric provides independent laboratory testing, materials characterization, analytical testing, product testing, failure analysis, and scientific R&D support for companies, universities, research organizations, startups, manufacturers, and individual clients across a broad range of industries.
Our services support product development and R&D, material and formulation characterization, product qualification, supplier and raw-material evaluation, quality investigations, regulatory and technical documentation, competitive product analysis, failure analysis, contaminant identification, and customized one-of-a-kind testing programs.
We characterize materials and products including metals, alloys, polymers, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, composites, coatings, thin films, glass, pigments, powders, biomaterials, cosmetic formulations, packaging systems, and advanced engineered materials. Depending on the technical question, testing may incorporate SEM/EDS, XRD, XRF, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, ICP-MS, GC-MS, LC-MS, thermal analysis, microscopy, particle characterization, elemental analysis, chemical analysis, mechanical evaluation, and other specialized laboratory methods.
Rather than applying the same test package to every project, Materials Metric develops industry-specific and application-specific strategies based on the material or product, performance requirement, suspected failure mechanism, applicable standard, and scientific question being investigated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What industries does Materials Metric serve?
Materials Metric supports healthcare, life sciences, aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, manufacturing, polymers, coatings, packaging, consumer products, environmental projects, construction, agriculture, forensic investigations, and other science- and engineering-driven sectors. Projects can range from routine characterization to complex multidisciplinary investigations.
Can Materials Metric help if I do not know which test I need?
Yes. Many clients begin with a problem rather than a test method. Materials Metric reviews the sample, background information, intended use of the data, suspected failure mechanism, and project constraints before recommending a practical analytical strategy.
Do you support customized or one-of-a-kind testing projects?
Yes. Materials Metric develops custom analytical and experimental programs when standard methods do not fully address the scientific question. Customized projects may combine several complementary techniques and can be designed for unusual materials, prototype products, limited samples, or specialized investigations.
Can you work with individual clients as well as companies and universities?
Yes. Materials Metric supports organizations and individual clients requiring specialized testing, independent analysis, material identification, customized investigations, or expert scientific interpretation. Project scope and sample requirements are defined before testing begins.
