Why NADCAP accreditation is essential for aerospace materials analysis

Characterization of Materials, Chemical Analysis /

A level of requirement unmatched in aeronautics In the aerospace industry, there is no room for error. Every material, every treatment, every assembly must meet extremely stringent requirements in terms of safety, performance, and traceability. It is in this context that NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) accreditation for Materials Testing Laboratories comes […]

What is Residual DNA?

Analytical Techniques, Chemical Analysis /

In the biopharmaceutical industry, the transition from the cell culture stage to the final injectable product is a complex journey where purity is the watchword. While biomedicines (antibodies, vaccines, gene therapies) are revolutionizing treatments, they also impose unprecedented analytical challenges. Patient safety relies on the near-total elimination of host cell components. Among these process impurities,

Mechanical testing: determination of toughness by the SEVNB method | ISO 23146

Characterization of Materials /

In many industries (aerospace, defense, energy, medical devices, and electronics), ceramic and brittle materials are used for their exceptional performance. But one key question remains: how do we measure their resistance to fissure propagation? This is precisely the objective of fracture toughness determination. Among the recognized methods, the SEVNB method is now a benchmark for

Quantification by XRD: Rietveld, RIR and amorphous phase, what are the differences?

Analytical Techniques, Chemical Analysis /

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is much more than a phase identification tool. In many sectors (pharmaceutical, cement, or energy), the question is not only to know the chemical composition of the sample but also the quantity of components present. However, when faced with a diffractogram, several quantification methods are available to the FILAB laboratory. Rietveld method,
