Analytical Testing

Scientist Problem Solvers

Our team of highly experienced scientists spans a diverse range of disciplines, including engineering, chemistry, and materials science. This multidisciplinary expertise combined with our scientists’ seasoned perspectives allow for a deeper understanding of your results and clear communication of their implications. With extensive experience in both R&D and analytical testing, our scientists are well equipped to handle even the most novel materials, leveraging their familiarity with similar challenges to deliver reliable insights. We partner closely with you throughout the entire process, providing tailored solutions and comprehensive interpretations to meet your unique needs.

Standards-Compliant

Conducting tests to standards within an accredited quality system is essential to ensuring the credibility and reliability of results. At Cambridge Polymer Group, all testing is performed in our ISO 9001-certified and ISO 17025-accredited analytical laboratory. We utilize industry standards such as ASTM, ISO, USP, EP, MILSPEC, and others to support regulatory acceptance and provide you with the confidence you need in the generated data. For regulatory submissions, we can also design studies adhering to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), ensuring compliance and robust study design tailored to your specific needs. Our testing reports have been reviewed and accepted by regulatory agencies and notified bodies.

Publication-Ready Reports and Method Transfer

Clients often need a testing report that contains more than a list of numbers. For traceability and method compliance, details about the test methods, equipment used, calibration information, and verification activities are often needed. To address this, we provide detailed, interpretative reports suitable for regulatory submissions and publications. These reports not only present the data but also include expert analysis, observations, and conclusions based on the stated goal of the study. Each report is self-contained, capturing all relevant details such as experimental parameters and sample preparation techniques, even those not routinely required by standard protocols. This process ensures that the work can be reproduced precisely or seamlessly transitioned to in-house quality control processes. Additionally, upon request, standards can be formally validated and documented to meet specific client requirements.

State-of-the-Art Instruments

Our state-of-the-art instrumentation is regularly calibrated within our quality system and updated to meet industry demands. You can be assured that any test is performed on an instrument that meets the requirements of the test and has been recently calibrated and maintained. When an off-the-shelf solution is unavailable, we have adapted existing standards or built custom instrumentation to achieve our clients’ project goals. These custom instruments are also calibrated or verified to give confidence in the generated data.
