SEM/EDS near Valparaiso, IN?

SEM/EDS near Valparaiso, IN?

Hi! I'll apologize in advance if this request is considered inappropriate for these forums, but I'm getting desperate...

I'm hoping someone here can point me toward a facility where we could have an SEM/EDS inspection performed in the Valparaiso, IN area. My usual resources have failed me!

Again, any help would be appreciated!

RE: SEM/EDS near Valparaiso, IN?

Why is location so important?  SEM/EDS requires very small specimens, which can be shipped easily.  There are numerous labs in the country that can do SEM/EDS.

Even if chain of custody is important, that can be handled by most labs.

There are two metallurgical labs with SEM capabilities within an hour's drive of Valpo:Packer Engineering (Naperville, IL) and MSI Testing (Melrose Park, IL).

Thanks, Swall.

Unfortunately, Ron, sometimes some of the parties involved are unwilling to accept chains of custody, etc. as adequate and insist that all parties must be present at the inspection. That part is out of my hands.

alibrarian...I understand.  Have had to travel from Jacksonville to Detroit just to watch a tensile test.
