FTIR and Raman – Composition and Contamination Analysis
FTIR and Raman are spectroscopy techniques that provide molecular information from various types of materials.
Defense Materials Testing
For over 50 years, EAG has performed defense materials testing to characterize high-performance materials and electronics used in combat and defense. EAG offers more specialized imaging and analytical expertise than any commercial contract laboratory in the world. We understand that stringent requirements for military electronics and materials can differ from commercial applications, ranging from operating temperatures to the full life cycle of components.
Services for Defense Materials Testing
Our scientists and engineers have contributed to the development of some innovative armor, missiles and munitions through defense materials testing. EAG has a broad set of expertise and equipment to test, qualify, and analyze electronics. We are approved by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to perform testing according to MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883 in our Syracuse, NY laboratory, and our certifications also include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 17025, DSCC. Our US facilities are ITAR- and EAR-compliant and registered with the DDTC for defense-related articles and services.
How do you design for the world’s least-hospitable environments and, at the same time, ensure safety, speed and precision?

How We Can Help - Defense Expertise
EAG is a highly technical, skilled, and secure laboratory that offers a comprehensive suite of services to evaluate high-performance materials and electronics, meeting the industry’s exacting standards for tight controls of material properties, composition, and chemistry. Here are just a few ways we can help:
EAG can perform failure analysis on both integrated circuits and devices. Services range from Level 1 non-destructive examination to Level 3 fault isolation and root cause identification and characterization.
EAG provides internal gas and water vapor analysis in microelectronic components. We support MIL-STD-883, Method 1018 and MIL-STD-750, Method 10180 and can detect masses up to 140 AMU.
We can determine trace elemental impurities in ingots, manufactured parts, and the raw metal powders that go into nickel base superalloys, titanium alloys, cobalt alloys and other custom or specialized alloys.
Our scientists can provide deep insights into advanced materials, including metals and alloys, ceramics, coatings, plastics and polymers, composites, and porous materials.
EAG provides full structural characterization of CMC materials including chemical composition, impurities, microstructure, and interface chemistry of reinforcement fibers such as SiC, SiCN and carbon fibers.
We offer depth profiling and full chemical survey characterizations of many engineering coatings with a wide range of applications including optical, anti-reflective, environmental barrier, energy conversion, and corrosion resistance.
Our team offers the engineering expertise to design, develop, test, analyze, and debug the most innovative products using ATE, system-level testing, reliability and IC-level failure analysis.
Our sister company, Eurofins E&E, can evaluate components for use in extreme electromagnetic & environmental conditions to identify design flaws and bring equipment from development to production.
We offer monitoring of trace and ultra-trace level concentrations in raw materials using our techniques.
EAG is DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) certified for various MIL-STD testing requirements on materials used in aerospace, commercial, military and government applications.
We offer system-level testing for reliability and failure analysis of component and modules, including selection of tester platform, hardware, and fixture design, as well as ATE test programs in both development and production.
EAG performs failure analysis investigations of fractures to determine the mechanism and characteristics of the fracture, such as: fatigue, slow crack growth mechanisms, brittle and ductile overload, stress, corrosion, oxidation, and hydrogen embrittlement.
We can determine if any materials or equipment exposed directly to the skin contain any chemicals that are skin sensitizers with the potential to cause toxic or allergenic reactions.
Inspection of raw materials during key phases of manufacturing can aid in the identification and elimination of unwanted impurities in final products.
Defense Materials Standards
We are approved by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to perform defense materials testing according to many MIL standards. Please add the MIL-STD in your request that you are interested in as we have experience with most including MIL-STD-167-1, MIL-STD-202, MIL-STD- 276, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-1344, MIL-STD-1399, MIL-STD-1580, MIL-STD-1678-3 (3308), MIL-S-901, MIL-C-83522, MIL-DTL-83526, MIL-E-5400, MIL-PRF-24623, MIL-PRF-28800, MIL-PRF-28876, MIL-PRF-29504, MIL-PRF-49291, MIL-PRF-85045, Mil-HDBK-217, and MIL-I-24728. We have also tested to Special NASA DoD standards, and SSQ-25000.
