We offer modern methods and a very wide variety of analytical equipment in our laboratory in Mannheim, which enables us to do fast on demand investigations, tests and analysis of your samples and surfaces.
The main reason for a material damage often lays hidden in its micro structure. With our high resolution scanning microscopes and microprober we can find the reasons for you. Morphology and characteristics of an erroneous area at high magnification very often tells lots about the reason for the macroscopic damages (e.g. hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion). Should complementary investigations become nescessary, we offer them as well in our labs.
Your products need a steady and independent quality control ?
We are offering a customized service, in which all analysis is perfectly worked out to fit your individual needs. We offer the most modern analytical technologies and instruments for this purposes.
On demand we support you during the whole quality control cycle, taking samples at yours and providing 7 days a week 24h analytical services to monitor your quality non-stop.
Hidden burdens of the past often have the potential to explode the costs for a clean up and demolition very fast and unexpected. We check in advance if or if not your object is contaminated with asbestos. Images from our electron microscopes can easily and fast proof the existence of the characteristic asbestos fiber in the sample.
Our light division provides a wide spectrum of experience and equipment connected to illumination. With emission spectroscopy we can in detail investigate the spectral characteristics of your light source. Properties like efficiency or colour temperature can be determined. With our high temperature infra-red camera we are able to map the temperature profile of the filament in real time.
“Original or a copy ?”. Do you really own a original master piece or just a copy ? Old, historical colours differ strongly from colours used in our days by their chemical composition. The authenticity therefore can be verified very fast and reliable by spectroscopic methods. For our analyses only very small sample amounts are needed.
Your Problem – Our Solution
Which of our analytical methods or combinations of them, fits best to your questions and problems, will be always discussed with you in a personal preliminary talk with one of our experts. At Limedion you will not just get undocumented spectra – each of our results will be presented in a report addressing to your specific problems.
On demand your are welcome to stop at our laboratories and to watch over our experts shoulder during they are investigating your samples. In this way you can interact in our work, which can help to find answers to your questions very efficient and as fast as possible.

Electrochemical analysis.
In our branches surface analysis and material testing, we offer a certified quality management.
We are certified by the TÜV-CERT-certification bureau and satisfy the requirements according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.
Aside of pure analysis and material testing, Limedion can improve and optimize your products and surfaces. For more information read here.
Due to the spacial closeness of coating facilities and analysis, all located at Limedion Laboratories in Mannheim, we achieve ultra fast feed back between our branches. This short loop enables us fasten our research and to shorten the time needed for product developments and product improvements significantly.
