The spectacular X-ray technique is a proven technique used for measuring the density, thickness, and roughness of thin film structures (both single-layer and multi-layered) without causing damage. This technique is based on the X-rays' total external reflection off of surfaces and interfaces and it is appropriate while in use with liquid, crystalline, and amorphous materials.... Read More
Specular X-Ray Reflectivity (XRR) is a surface sensitive analytical technique that utilizes monochromatic X-ray beam reflection at a specular angle, to study material surfaces, ultra-thin films and multilayered structures. The term specular reflection means that the reflected angle of the X-ray beam is equal to its incident angle. The intensity of the reflected X-ray wave is correlated with the angle of incidence of the X-ray beam, its wavelength and properties of the reflecting layer such as refractive index, roughness, thickness and density. The mathematical analysis involves matching measured X-Ray intensity data with computer simulations. The angle of incidence is maintained at grazing angle around the critical angle, to investigate thin layers. The reflecting layer may be a single thin layer at the surface or an in-depth interlayer in a multi-layer structure. XRR is used to characterize single and multi-layer structures, thin films, optical coatings and catalyst surfaces.

ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
