Surface Analysis Services
AUSSL provides contractual surface analysis services to outside customers. Our
sample turnaround time is excellent and our pricing is far below commercial surface
analytical laboratories.

analysis, writeup) is 3 hours for AES and 4 hours for XPS. Price is roughly 50% of
commercial analytical laboratories.
