Materials Testing Services: Precision at the Core of Innovation

Materials Testing Services form the foundation of Materials Metric's offerings. These services are designed to evaluate material strength, durability, and performance using advanced technologies and methodologies. The company's extensive testing portfolio includes:

  • Mechanical Testing: Assessing tensile strength, ductility, and fatigue resistance.



  • Microscopy and Imaging: Leveraging Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for detailed visualization of micro and nanoscale structures.



  • Spectroscopic Analysis: Incorporating tools such as UV-Vis, Infrared (IR), Raman Spectroscopy, NMR, HPLC, and GC to analyze chemical compositions and detect impurities.



  • X-ray Technologies: Utilizing X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) for crystallographic and elemental analysis.



  • Thermal Analysis: Applying Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), and Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) to evaluate behavior under variable temperature conditions.



These comprehensive assessments are tailored to each client's unique needs, enabling high-confidence decision-making across industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and manufacturing.

Pre-Clinical Trial Services: From Bench to Market

Materials Metric LLC excels in guiding new technologies through the crucial Pre-Clinical Trial Services stage. This suite of services ensures product safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance before clinical or commercial deployment. The company's scientific team—comprising experts in biology, chemistry, and materials science—partners closely with academic institutions and industry stakeholders to deliver:

  • Biocompatibility Assessments: Including both in-vitro and in-vivo studies to determine compatibility with biological systems.



  • Cytotoxicity and Systemic Toxicity Testing: Essential for medical and biotechnological applications.



  • Extractables and Leachables Testing: Ensuring the safety of materials used in contact with drugs or the human body.



  • Biofilm Evaluation: Assessing the antimicrobial properties of materials and their ability to resist biofilm formation through culture methods and biofilm imaging.



  • Modeling and Computational Analysis: Employing Pharmacometric Analysis, Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP), and Drug Docking Modeling to simulate and predict biological responses.



These services reduce time-to-market and increase confidence in technology readiness, especially in sectors requiring strict regulatory oversight such as medical devices and pharmaceuticals.

Histology and Imaging Analysis Services: Visualizing Biological Interactions

Among its specialized offerings, Histology and Imaging Analysis Services provide essential insights into how materials interact with biological tissues. This is crucial for medical product development and understanding biocompatibility in complex systems.

Materials Metric's histology team performs:

  • Tissue Processing and Sectioning: Preparing samples for microscopic examination.



  • Staining and Imaging: Utilizing advanced staining techniques combined with high-resolution imaging to observe cell and tissue structures.



  • Interpretative Analysis: Offering detailed assessments that inform design adjustments and compliance with clinical standards.



These services are indispensable in evaluating medical implants, biomaterials, and drug delivery systems, where visual confirmation of biological interactions can dictate product viability.

A Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Approach

What sets Materials Metric LLC apart is its collaborative ethos and multidisciplinary strength. The team includes microbiologists, materials scientists, biomedical engineers, analytical and synthetic chemists, alongside regulatory consultants—all with advanced academic credentials (Ph.D. and M.S.). Their cross-functional approach ensures a seamless integration of scientific rigor and industry insight throughout every phase of a project.

Through partnerships with top-tier universities and research organizations, Materials Metric taps into academic excellence while maintaining the agility and responsiveness required by commercial entities. This synergy allows for rapid adaptation to client needs, ensuring research outcomes are both innovative and practical.

Custom Solutions Beyond Standard Testing

Unlike conventional CROs that offer rigid, off-the-shelf services, Materials Metric LLC specializes in tailored research and development. Their methodology adapts to client-specific challenges—whether developing a novel testing protocol or scaling up manufacturing validation. With expertise that spans chemistry, biology, and engineering, the company is adept at addressing complex, interdisciplinary problems.

This bespoke approach is especially valuable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and academic researchers who may require niche solutions or experimental flexibility not offered by larger, traditional CROs.
