Electronics Analytical Services

FAILURE ANALYSIS

Receive a comprehensive failure analysis with recommendations and visual proof to understand and correct the root cause of your electronics failure. Fast turnaround.

REVERSE ENGINEERING

Reverse engineering tailored to your needs, budget, and schedule. Bring your manufacturing state-side, protect your patents/IP, replace obsolete parts, etc.

IP ANALYSIS

You need evidence to protect your intellectual property and patents. We have the expertise and equipment to dig into electronic components to get you that evidence.

Capabilities & Equipment

If your bottom line depends on high-quality analytical services, then a strong lab is your advantage. Choose an electronics analytical lab with a comprehensive set of analytical tools and techniques.
