STERILE PRODUCT SAMPLES:
Sterile aqueous solutions and chemicals, biological fluids, disinfectant solutions, tubing sets, sterile kits, medical devices, filters, packaging containers and sterile apparel.

HIGH-PURITY LIQUIDS:
Ultra-pure DI water, specialty grade chemicals, chemical formulations, staticides and cleanroom cleaning solutions.

PARTICLE ANALYSIS:
Particle counts in liquid solution, particles counts in airborne analysis, fiber indentification, particle identification, in-use bodybox particle generation, dry release via Helmke Drum, SEM/EDXA particle counts and identification, FTIR Infrared Analysis.

INORGANIC PARTICLES:
Inorganic particles are identified and tested at MicroStat
Laboratories, Inc., using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)/ Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDXA) or Polarized Light Microscopy methods.

ORGANIC PARTICLES AND INORGANIC PLASTICS:
Organic particles are identified and tested using Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR). Our trained, technical staff can assist the client in locating and identifying the source of these contaminants such as silicone oils.

PHYSICAL TESTING
Dimensional measurements, sorbency, basis weight, barrier integrity, abrasion resistance, water vapor transmission rates, air permeability, absolute pore size, equivalent pore diameter - bubble point test, tensile strength and elongation, pinhole leak detection, filtration efficiencies.

CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS AND TESTING
Extractable ions, non-volatile residues, trace metals, total organic carbon analysis, outgassing by quantitative and qualitative methods, residual ethylene oxide measurement.

MICROBIOLOGY ANALYSIS AND TESTING
Gram staining, bacteria characterization and enumeration, sterility tests by immersion, bioburden by contact, and bioburden by liquid.

ESD MEASUREMENT AND TESTING
Surface resistance, resistance-to-ground, volume resistance, point-to-point resistance, static decay, triboelectric charge measurement, voltage retention measurement, static shielding testing, wristwrap and footwear testing.

DEFECT ANALYSIS:
Using our SEM / EDXA we identify and analyze micro printed circuits and circuit boards, photo masks, reticles, and thinly coated or optical surfaces such as substrates for semiconductor wafers, disk drive sliders, flat panel displays, ceramics, glass, plastics and coated lenses. In addition, we can do analysis on medical devices, such as stents, struts, grafts, tubing, surgical implants, orthopedic implants, pumps and filters.

CLEANROOM CERTIFICATIONS
Cleanroom environments are measured for airborne particle levels, airflow velocity, volume and uniformity measurements, positive room pressurization tests and for HEPA filter leak tests. We are qualified to test per the new ISO TC-209 method., the old Fed Std 209 method or the IEST-RP-CC006.2 method. We can test under as-built, at-rest or in operational conditions.

FIELD TESTING AND FACILITY AUDITING
Other services offered include on-site inspection, contamination control auditing, real-time environmental monitoring and cleanroom certification per Federal Standard 209 and ISO Technical Standards. We also offer total ESD audits following relevant guidelines set forth by ASTM and ESD Associations.

CONTAMINATION CONTROL CONSULTING SERVICES:
MicroStat Laboratories Inc. offers consulting services for Quality System regulation, including ISO 9000 registration and GMP certification. Pre-assessment audits can be performed to help prepare clients for inspections and ISO registration audits.

QUALITY CONTROL SERVICES:
Our testing and consulting services help the client monitor the quality of their product or purchases and can help prevent non-conformant products from being released for use in a cleanroom, or a static sensitive or sterile environment. We are available to do routine work or project oriented work.

TEST METHODS AND PROCEDURES:
We routinely follow and address the relevant test methods set forth by ASTM, IEST, USP, Military Standards, Federal Standards, ESD Association, ANSI and our clients in-house private company specifications.

CLIENT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY:
All of our analysis, testing, certification and consulting services are provided under a strict and enforceable confidential agreement between MicroStat Laboratories Inc., all members of our staff and each individual client and their involved personnel. At no time will any client's test information that has been contracted be identified by source or specifics to another client or individual. This confidentiality agreement governs all work undertaken by MicroStat Laboratories, Inc. and is enforced with each and every project that is contracted by a customer.
