AMT is Advanced Materials Testing: Material Science Understood.
In today's ever changing manufacturing landscape feed material are more and more critical. their purity and authenticity is essential for success.
What kind of results can you expect with AMT?
What can AMT do for you?
Deploy the latest in analytical chemistry technology: the Massbox
Sample any solid material for it's elemental components
Focus our efforts on metal and rocks - why do we do this?
Manufacturing requires careful quality control. We can verify that your materials are up to spec.
We can identify when shortcuts are being taken or potential counterfeits have been introduced.
With the right quantification, we can determine element presence down to parts per billion.
As rare earth elements are becoming more and more valuable, it is essential that you get what you think you have. Whether mining, refining, or combining, we can assess your material every step of the way.
Because the Massbox is so advanced and able to offer such high throughput, we can keep our costs at a minimum.
For relative element composition, we can measure your material for only $395.
If you require precise quantification, then we can work with you to build out a standard and really nail the variations in each sample.
If mapping the material for lateral and vertical heterogeneity, we offer mapping across samples.
In a recent analysis of metal samples for a national manufacturer we quickly were able to show...
Coating on both samples consist of aluminum and zinc with higher levels of aluminum and lower levels of zinc
Dark spots on one sample are iron and titanium contamination within coating
Surface contamination on coating as well as within the interface of coating and wire
Greater coating thickness on one sample
One sample contains trace amounts of lanthanum, cerium, and lead which were unknown to manufacturer and wouldn’t have known to test for these elements

How does AMT evaluate material?
The Massbox enables ultra-sensitive, multi-elemental analysis and mapping with minimal sample preparation, offering unmatched insight into purity, composition, and trace contaminants—crucial for performance and consistency.
Detects ultra-trace contaminants and compositional deviations down to hundreds of parts-per-billion levels
Rapid, non-destructive analysis for both virgin and recycled metal
De-risks feedstock used in critical applications by ensuring batch-to-batch consistency
Supports material certification and process optimization for aerospace, medical, industrial use, etc.

How the Massbox Works
Massbox directly analyzes solid material and provides trace-level detection for nearly the entire periodic table of elements (lithium to uranium).
As a process control tool, Massbox can quickly verify that active elements have been evenly distributed. If the critical elements are poorly distributed, Massbox assists in diagnosing the issue.
Massbox in the Media
Featuring the Massbox is Robert Thomas's latest edition of the "Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques." Our very own Massbox's LALI-TOF-MS technique is featured in one of the new chapters.
This comprehensive guide, the first of its kind since 2014, offers invaluable insights into the world of ICP-MS while comparing it with other complementary AS techniques. Plus, it dives into the incredible capabilities of LALI-TOF-MS, including the same Massbox technology used by QualityMetal.co.
