“Brady has utilized instrumentation at UW-Milwaukee AAF lab for a number of years. We have leveraged the advanced analytical tools at the AAF lab to assist in defect identification, surface analysis, and topographical imaging. We have found the staff at the AAF lab to be highly responsive to our inquires. Further, the ability to work alongside the AAF lab staff performing the analysis is a tremendous benefit to our R&D researchers.”
Dan, R&D Chemist,Brady Corporation

“Access to the instrumentation and expertise at the Advance Analysis Facility has played a key role in the success of multiple projects at Bostik. This access has allowed us to rapidly offer technical solutions to our customers from an expanded toolbox of instrumental capabilities. We are able to rapidly respond to complex questions because of the technical options at AAF. Cooperation with the Advanced Analysis Facility also offers our team members the opportunity to build knowledge and gain hands-on experience beyond the solutions and instrumentation available in our corporate laboratories. This allows team members to quickly assess the limitations and benefits of techniques.”

“We have been very pleased with the help provided by AAF. RBP provides application specific chemical products for several industries and in our R&D we need to test performance of our formulations in cleaning, etching, electroplating and electropolishing on a variety of substrates. We have a variety of technical projects, which occasionally require advanced instrumentation and associated expertise. On many occasions, AAF helped getting answers to our problems and to accomplishing our goals. We utilized SEM/EDS, particle size analyzer and 3D microscope and know there are other instruments available in the Laboratory for future projects’ needs.”
