Instrument access, without the capital.

This facility is in development and is not accepting samples or testing bookings. The instrument list, available methods, opening date, prices and any accreditation scope are not yet confirmed. Register your interest with a description of the measurements you need.

Some research and industrial projects need occasional access to advanced instruments rather than a dedicated installation. Vvon is developing an analytical testing facility and gathering requirements for measurements such as microscopy, spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Tell us the material and question you need to investigate so we can assess demand and the capabilities the facility would need.

What it covers

• Planned sample testing: The proposed service would review the sample, measurement question, preparation needs and reporting format before accepting work. Share a description now; sample acceptance and submission arrangements will be confirmed when the facility is ready.
• Proposed instrument access: Tell us the technique, expected session length and level of assistance you would need. Access arrangements, available instruments and operator requirements remain to be confirmed.
• Industrial failure investigation: Describe the component, operating conditions and observed failure. Imaging or analysis may help investigate possible causes; the suitable methods and limits of interpretation depend on the material and evidence available.
• Method feasibility: Identify the result you need, relevant standards and expected detection limits or precision. This helps define suitable equipment, reference materials and validation work for the proposed facility.

Who it is for

• University research groups without in-house instruments
• Research institutes needing overflow capacity
• Manufacturers investigating failures and quality problems
• Pharmaceutical and materials developers
