Materials Characterization Laboratory (uOttawa MCL)

The Materials Characterization Laboratory (uOttawa MCL) provides an extensive characterization service for analyzing the composition, structure and performance of advanced materials and multi-materials systems, covering the complete scale range from nanometre up to component size. While our clients are welcome to attend at all times, our multidisciplinary team, from the mechanical engineering and chemical and biological engineering departments, performs all aspects of the characterization work, from sample selection and preparation, observation and analysis and results presentation. This efficient approach frees our clients from undertaking any training and enables them to dedicate their time where it matters — integrating the results into the development of new materials and products. Our flexible, itemized hourly-based service allows our clients to proceed with characterization and analysis as required, at competitive and predictable costs.
