Analytical Services
Analytical Services
AIM GeoAnalytics characterizes rocks, minerals, core, cuttings, and outcrop samples using complementary descriptive, mineralogical, petrographic, and geochemical methods. We select analytical methods according to the sample, the project question, and the level of detail required.
Clients may request an individual analysis or combine several methods into an integrated workflow. Results can be delivered as analytical data, annotated images, logs, technical summaries, or interpretive reports.
