Delivering excellence & value
Microtech Sciences is a leading independent asbestos testing laboratory in the UK. We utilise the innovative Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) technology to provide accurate and insightful asbestos analysis for a range of clients.
Our Expertise in Asbestos Testing
Asbestos poses a significant health risk, requiring careful detection and analysis. We employ state-of-the-art equipment and meticulous procedures to deliver precise results. Our skilled team of analysts are highly experienced in asbestos identification and quantification, ensuring comprehensive analysis of your samples.
