Flexible analytical support for any matrix — custom methods, fast iteration, and no standing account for pilot-phase work. Bring us the question no catalog answers.
Research and development rarely fits a catalog. IAS gives R&D teams flexible analytical support across any matrix — with the instrumentation to answer hard questions and the freedom to start with a single sample.
We develop methods around your problem, run them fast enough to keep your iteration loop tight, and put an experienced chemist on the phone to help interpret what comes back.
Pilot-phase work needs no standing account, and as a program matures we make recurring submission simple.
Figure out what is in a sample, or whether a hypothesis holds, before you scale.
Build and document a method for something no standard test covers.
Benchmark a formulation or component against a competitor or a target.
Detects and quantifies trace and ultra-trace metals down to parts-per-trillion levels.
Determines molecular structure and confirms compound identity.
High-magnification imaging plus elemental composition of surfaces & particles.
Start with one sample and a conversation — no account, no commitment.
Call or email with a description of what you're testing and what you're looking for. Not sure which test? We'll help you figure it out.
We tell you exactly what to collect, how to collect it, and how to ship it — and we'll supply the bottles and collection materials if you need them.
Your sample is logged, analyzed by our experienced team, and results are delivered clearly — with context whenever you need it.
Submit a one-time sample with zero setup. Need ongoing testing? We'll open an account that makes repeat submissions simple.
Our chemists and chemical engineers will walk through your situation and help you design the right approach — at no charge.
Yes — custom method development is central to our R&D support. We build, document and run methods around novel problems and matrices.
No. Pilot-phase and exploratory work can start with a single sample and no standing account.
Yes. Our instrument base spans trace metals, organics, molecular structure and surface analysis, so most matrices are in scope.
We do — reverse-engineering and benchmarking a product or formulation against a target or competitor.
R&D is where flexible, made-to-fit analytical work lives. Whatever the matrix and whatever the question, we will design the method, run it fast, and iterate with you — starting from a single sample.
Get a chemist on the phone to scope a custom method or an exploratory analysis — no account needed.
