    • Characterizing Capabilities & Analytical Systems

    For our extensive product characterizations, optimizations, developments, and quality controls, a wide range of in-house analytical equipment is on hand in our four laboratories.

    Our analytical know-how enables in-depths characterization and to take the right measures – having in mind our mutual development goals.

    In order to give you an idea of our state-of-the-art analytical equipment and the resulting in-house analytical capabilities, here a shortlist:
