Custom Analytical & Materials Testing

Custom Analytical & Materials Testing addresses complex scientific and engineering challenges that extend beyond standard ASTM, ISO, USP, or FDA test methods. These projects demand tailored experimental design, cross-disciplinary expertise, and integrated analytical strategies that reflect real-world material behavior rather than generic benchmarks.

At Materials Metric, we design and execute fit-for-purpose analytical programs for polymers, biomaterials, advanced composites, coatings, pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials, and specialty formulations. By combining customized protocols, advanced instrumentation, and expert interpretation, we deliver actionable data that supports R&D decision-making, failure investigation, product optimization, and regulatory readiness.

Our Offering

• Evaluate novel materials lacking standardized tests
• Investigate chemical, thermal, or mechanical anomalies
• Troubleshoot formulation or manufacturing issues
• Characterize proprietary biomaterial systems
• Provide decision-making data for R&D or regulatory submissions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom analytical and materials testing?

Custom analytical and materials testing is laboratory analysis configured to answer a specific question about a material or product. Materials Metric selects and runs the appropriate analytical and physical techniques and reports results with interpretation. It delivers data tailored to your material rather than a fixed test package.

What are the deliverables?

Deliverables include a test report with results, the methods and instruments used, and interpretation of what the findings mean. Supporting data such as spectra, images, or measurement tables are included where relevant. The specific tests are agreed before work begins.

What sample or input is required?

A representative physical sample of the material or product is required, in a quantity and condition suitable for the chosen techniques. Any known history, safety information, and the specific question you need answered should be provided. We confirm sample requirements during scoping so testing is not delayed.

Which standards guide the testing?

Testing uses recognized ISO and ASTM methods where a suitable standard exists for the property measured, and documented in-house procedures where no standard applies. The applicable standards depend on the material and the analysis requested. We state the method used for each result so it is traceable.
