Besides process engineering services, Kengtek also provides a wide range of analytical services related to process development, including:
Neutron activation analysis 
-
Neutron activation analysis is a non-destructive method to test materials, as opposed to mass pectroscopy. It relies on the formation of different isotopes while exposed to radiation from a nuclear source.
