What is this contamination?

Investigate unexpected residues, trace impurities, foreign matter and potential sources.

Contamination & Impurity Analysis · Service notes

Identify unexpected material and narrow the most relevant source pathway.

Contamination and impurity analysis investigates unexpected residues, particles, deposits or trace materials in the context of the affected product and process. It can help separate external contamination from material-related change and guide the comparison samples or process information needed next.

A structured investigation supports a more targeted containment and corrective-action discussion.
