Teel Analytical Laboratories focuses on polymer testing services with expert skills and a personal touch.
Teel’s Analytical Lab is staffed by degreed chemists that can guide you through the process of deciding on a testing program, developing test protocols, and interpreting results. Direct consultation with one of our experts is available easily when needed.
Teel’s other customers can take advantage of Teel Analytical Laboratories during product development and troubleshooting. Having a lab on site allows for Teel to get results faster than when using outside facilities and can drive better decisions on both development and troubleshooting processes.
Testing Benefits
When a company decides to test their products, they are guaranteeing a better understanding during development and production. Not only is there understanding, but testing creates a large database of information. Access to this essential information will speed development and troubleshooting and save money.
Using an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited laboratory provides assurances the tests are done correctly and the results are reliable. Teel Analytical Laboratories specializes in plastics testing and has the experience and capabilities to determine the testing you need and the expertise to explain what those results mean.
