STACK SAMPLE TESTING

.

Atlanta-based MVA Scientific Consultants provides customized analyses and scientific support to stack testers and their clients in our 14,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility. We specialize in emission sample particle sizing and in particle and back-half catch material identification.

Particle sizing of filter samples (e.g. Method 5) and for sources too clean for gravimetric methods (e.g. Method 202) is accomplished through ISO17025 compliant microscopical methods.

.

Particle and back-half catch identification utilizes a powerful combination of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry and micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
