Standard property measurement
particle size, porosity, surface area, roughness, wettability, or interfacial behaviour
- Best used when
- particle size, porosity, surface area, roughness, wettability, or interfacial behaviour
- Typical result
- Property values and distributions
- Preparation note
- Exact mass and any drying or dispersion step are confirmed after technical review.
Distribution or condition comparison
differences between materials, batches, treatments, or service conditions
- Best used when
- differences between materials, batches, treatments, or service conditions
- Typical result
- Processed plots or profiles
- Preparation note
- Declare volatility, corrosivity, suspended solids and any storage or temperature requirement.
Advanced pore, surface, or interface analysis
whether the measured result supports a specification, root-cause, or development decision
- Best used when
- whether the measured result supports a specification, root-cause, or development decision
- Typical result
- Test conditions and comparison summary
- Preparation note
- Gas compatibility, fittings, flow and safety controls are confirmed before acceptance.
Common outputs
A result package matched to the decision you need to make
Fields, conditions, processing and file formats are confirmed before work begins.
Property values and distributions reported with the agreed units, sample reference and measurement conditions.
Processed plots or profiles supplied in a labelled format suitable for direct sample or condition comparison.
Test conditions and comparison summary provided with the processing basis and quality checks agreed during technical review.
Measured property values included when selected in the confirmed reporting scope.
Sample requirements
What to provide before work begins
Provide representative, clearly labelled samples and identify the decision, feature or comparison that matters.
| Suitable sample | Submission requirement | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Powder / particles | Provide a dry, homogeneous and clearly labelled sample in a sealed container. | Exact mass and any drying or dispersion step are confirmed after technical review. |
| Liquid / solution | Provide a sealed, compatible container labelled with composition, concentration and solvent. | Declare volatility, corrosivity, suspended solids and any storage or temperature requirement. |
| Gas / headspace | Provide the gas composition, concentration range, cylinder or sampling format and required pressure. | Gas compatibility, fittings, flow and safety controls are confirmed before acceptance. |
| Device / assembly | Provide a complete labelled device or assembly with drawings, interfaces and operating limits. | Confirm power, connections, operating state, access restrictions and permitted disassembly. |
Objective: state the decision, comparison or acceptance criterion the work must support.
Handling and access: declare hazards, instability, confidentiality, file constraints or special logistics before dispatch or transfer.
Questions and answers
Common planning decisions
Short answers to issues that can change preparation, scope, timing or interpretation.
What should I send for Multicomponent Competitive Adsorption / Breakthrough Analysis?
Provide powder / particles, liquid / solution, gas / headspace, device / assembly as applicable. Exact quantity, dimensions and preparation are confirmed during technical review.
Which scope should I choose?
Choose the scope that matches the decision, comparison and reporting depth you need; TESTDOG confirms the final route after technical review.
What will I receive?
Typical outputs include property values and distributions, processed plots or profiles, test conditions and comparison summary. Final files follow the confirmed reporting scope.
How long will it take?
Typical turnaround is 15 working days after sample acceptance and method confirmation.
