Your One Source for Materials Analysis
MAT-CS is an analytical services broker that gives scientists and engineers access to the exact techniques they need — through 500+ partnering labs, university programs, and instrument manufacturers.
Expert insights, endless possibilities
We're not a lab — we're experts in the laboratory landscape. We pick the right tools and partners to solve your materials problem, then make sure the results actually mean something.
Breadth
The widest variety of testing services through 500+ partnering labs, plus collaborative agreements with instrument manufacturers and universities for analysis not otherwise commercially available.
Experience
Nearly 40 years in materials analysis. We help you pick the right technique, design experiments, interpret results, or synthesize data from multiple methods.
Reliability
We choose the most applicable technique for your problem — not just whatever's available in-house. Optimal results, every time.
Impartiality
If results look questionable, we re-test or confirm with another technique. We care about what the data means for your product, not just the numbers.
Analytical techniques we offer
From bulk analysis to surface characterization — pick a category to see the methods, or tell us what you're trying to learn and we'll recommend a starting point.
