From early-stage research and development to final production validation, we partner with you to ensure your materials and components perform exactly as intended.
We serve a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical devices, electronics, energy, consumer products, and industrial manufacturing. Each industry presents unique challenges, and our team tailors every testing program to meet specific performance requirements, standards, and real-world operating conditions. By combining advanced instrumentation with experienced engineers and scientists, we deliver accurate, actionable insights that help reduce risk, improve reliability, and accelerate time to market.
Chemical & Compositional Analysis
Understanding the chemical composition of a material is fundamental to ensuring quality, consistency, and performance. Our chemical and compositional analysis services are designed to verify material identity, detect impurities, and evaluate conformance to specifications and industry standards. Whether you are validating incoming raw materials, investigating contamination, or reverse engineering a component, our laboratory delivers detailed and defensible results.
We perform elemental analysis and trace detection to identify major, minor, and trace-level constituents within metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. These analyses help confirm alloy grades, detect unwanted elements, and assess material variability. For more complex materials, we provide molecular and structural characterization to understand bonding, phases, and chemical structure.
Contaminant identification is another critical capability, particularly for industries such as medical devices, electronics, and aerospace where even small impurities can lead to failure or noncompliance. Our experts isolate and identify foreign materials, residues, and process-related contaminants, helping you trace issues back to their source and implement effective corrective actions.
Mechanical & Physical Testing
Mechanical and physical testing is essential for evaluating how materials and components will behave under real-world loads and environments. At Genuine Testing, we assess strength, durability, and performance through a wide range of standardized and custom test methods. Our goal is to ensure your materials meet design requirements and perform reliably throughout their intended service life.
We offer tensile, compressive, and flexural testing to determine fundamental mechanical properties such as strength, elongation, modulus, and stiffness. These tests are critical for material selection, design validation, and quality control. Hardness testing, impact resistance, and fatigue evaluation provide additional insight into wear resistance, toughness, and long-term durability under cyclic loading.
Surface & Microstructure Characterization
Material performance is often dictated by features that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Our surface and microstructure characterization services allow you to examine materials at the micro- and nano-scale, revealing critical details about structure, morphology, and surface condition. These insights are invaluable for product development, process optimization, and failure prevention.
We utilize advanced microscopy techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), to analyze microstructures, grain size, phases, and defects. These tools provide high-resolution imaging and compositional information that help explain material behavior and performance.
Surface roughness and coatings analysis are essential for components where friction, adhesion, corrosion resistance, or aesthetics matter. We evaluate coating thickness, uniformity, adhesion, and defects to ensure proper application and long-term durability.
Failure Analysis & Troubleshooting
When a product or component fails, rapid and accurate failure analysis is essential to minimize downtime, reduce costs, and prevent future issues. Genuine Testing specializes in systematic failure analysis and troubleshooting, combining materials science expertise with advanced analytical tools to identify root causes.
Our failure analysis process begins with a thorough visual and microscopic examination, followed by targeted testing to investigate fractures, defects, and anomalies. We analyze corrosion, wear, fatigue, and environmental damage to determine how service conditions contributed to failure. Environmental and operational stress testing allows us to replicate real-world conditions and confirm failure mechanisms.
Quality Assurance & Standards Compliance
Maintaining compliance with industry and regulatory standards is critical for market acceptance and customer confidence. Our testing capabilities support quality assurance programs and help demonstrate compliance with relevant ASTM, ISO, MIL, and customer-specific requirements. We work closely with your team to ensure test plans align with applicable standards and project objectives.
Our detailed reports provide clear documentation of methods, results, and conclusions, supporting audits, certifications, and regulatory submissions. With a strong focus on accuracy and repeatability, Genuine Testing serves as a trusted partner in your quality and compliance efforts.
