Eurofins MASER – Failure Analysis

We offer a wide variety of Failure Analysis (FA) to a wide range of customers within the electronics industry. For a successful FA a combination of good equipment and skilled engineers/technicians is key. Throughout the years we have continuously extended our equipment capability to keep pace with the modern day technology developments. Importantly, our staffing has similarly grown in size, experience and skills. Having this capability in a centralized lab is unique in Europe and our extensive offering and FA outcome is highly appreciated by our customers. For a full scope of our possibilities please see the summary below.
