SanAir is a full-service laboratory offering asbestos analysis in Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
Our state-of-the-art Asbestos Testing Laboratory provides quality analytical results with rapid turn around times within three hours. Our polarized light microscopes used for bulk asbestos analysis are designed by Leica for a wide variety of applications such as petrography, mineralogy, and materials analysis. The latest energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) and Scan Active Digital Imaging technology from Evex can be utilized by our Hitachi H-600 TEM and Hitachi H-600 TEM/STEM (scanning capabilities) Electron Microscopes. We offer a complete line of analytical testing for all different types of matrices. At SanAir, we are dedicated to superior customer service and maintaining a level of standard at every facet of analysis and reporting.
