Precision is What Counts with Us

... space exploration, use of fuel cells or hydrogen-powered cars. Before technical progress can begin, measurements, tests and analyses must be carried out. Only then can complex substandces and materials be created of functional products developed.

The Analyzing & Testing business unit of the NETZSCH group develops and manufactures a complete high-precision instrument line for thermal analysis and thermophysical properties measurement, as well as offering world class commercial testing services in our laboratories. Our instrumentation is employed for research and quality control in the polymer sector, the chemical industry, the areas of inorganic and building materials, and environmental analysis. Instruments for controlling – such as for in-situ cure monitoring – complete our product line.

The standard of quality leadership.
Our innovative technological leadership and uncompromising quality standards make us one of the world’s leading manufacturers in our trade. We consistently incorporate outstanding developments – often orignating in cooperation with our customers to ensure the utmost in user-pertinency – into our standard instrument series.

The highest level of technical competence.
First-rate software achievements that have been highly praised among experts, particularly in the area of evaluation (such as rection kinetics or multicomponent analysis), attest to our high degree of technical progress and warrants the superiority of our products and services.
