Particle Analysis in the Academia
Academia participates on large-scale collaborative R&D and innovative commercial and publicly-funded projects, amassing vast technical knowledge and know-how.Universities not only carry out fundamental research, they are also at the centre of important skills provision, producing the engineers and managers of the future.
Universities also possess many of the best test and demonstration facilities available in the UK-important tools for fundamental research and vital in the development and de-risking of new technologies.
Meritics can offer a full range of instrumentation to purchase, plus aid in collaboration with short term projects, by offering short and long term leases with options to buy. Plus with a fully equipped laboratory and staff, we are able to offer a particle characterisation service, on a fee paying basis.
- Collaborative research projects, with academic and industry partners provided by public funding.
- Direct support for fundamental research, for example, within Centres of Excellence within the university campuses.
- Knowledge gaps identified through engagement with industry
- Supporting Knowledge exchanged by offering secondments into and out of universities and encouraging closer engagement between industry academic stakeholders.
Here is a selection of particle analysis instruments which can help the academic sector
