Auger analysis??

Sure there are. If you look in the ASTM International Directory of Testing Laboratories at you will find a listing for Geller MicroAnalytical Laboratory, 426e Boston St. (Rt. 1), Topsfield, MA 01983-1216, phone 978 887-7000 Pittsburgh Pete

Al:
I didn't mean to slight anyone. I said how to use the ASTM directory to find labs. Then gave one example I was already familiar with, although I don't live or work in the Boston area. The directory works well only if you already know the jargon and acronyms. Auger is often listed as SAM, and ESCA more commonly is called XPS.

Huh? You must have a thin skin. I used to work at AAI and am recommending their services for that reason. The place is loaded with PhDs. You can get either the raw data from the instruments and interpret yourself or else they can write a report for you and interpret the results.
If you want to do your own analysis, you better know what you're doing. You can be present and direct what your want done or else just wait for the results in the mail.
