TEST METHODS

At Alemnis, we push the frontiers of numerous nanomechanical testing methods with a high-precision nanoindenter assembly and a range of complementary accessories, consumables, and controls. With full compatibility for both in situ and ex situ testing, the Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA) can utilize a wide selection of applications to interrogate a diverse array of sample types for specific objectives.

The ASA boasts true displacement control and a unique range of strain rate options, making it highly compatible with key test methods in advanced materials testing analysis. Browse our full range of available test methods below, or contact a member of the Alemnis team today with any questions.
