ETC

ETC was established as the Experimental Techniques Centre at Brunel University in 1979 in purpose built laboratories designed to accommodate high resolution electron microscopes and analytical equipment.

ETC is a highly regarded consultancy and research Centre for engineering, forensic and environmental investigations, including expert witness statements for legal purposes. UKAS accreditation has been obtained for many of the services offered.

Our Analytical Services include microscopical, chemical, mineralogical and surface analyses.

On the 9th of April ETC celebrates the addition of a brand new Jeol TEM to its facilities.

A full list of our investigation techniques can be found under Characterization Facilities.

We run advanced training courses in analytical techniques, which are endorsed by the Institute of Physics for CPD.
