Purity Analysis of Your Electronic Assemblies
Well-founded. Reliable. Problem-Solving - ZESTRON Analytical Centre
ZESTRON ANALYTICAL centRESolid Results, Reliable Interpretation
We check your entire cleaning process using a wide variety of - optical, chemical or physical - test methods.
In addition, we provide you with comprehensive technical reports, including picture evidence, to ensure total transparency and traceability. And last but not least, we assess the possible consequences of residual contamination for you and recommend the appropriate optimisation measures.
PURITY ANALYSIS FROM A SINGLE SOURCEWe Analyse Exactly to the μm for You
The functional reliability of electronic assemblies can be significantly impaired by impurities from the production process, e.g. flux or particles.
Using various analytical methods, we help you to prove the surface purity of your assemblies. However, our analytics go far beyond simply measuring and recording data. Our experienced experts also interpret the results for you and derive the right measures to solve existing problems or optimise your process.
Therefore zestronYour Advantages at a Glance

Proof of surface cleanliness/quality for internal and external ISO audits
-
Security for warranty claims from customers and suppliers
-
Verifiable cleanliness for statistical process control

Assurance of the coatability and bondability of your assemblies
ANALYTICAL METHODSState-Of-The-Art Analytical Methods for Reliable Results
In order to guarantee our customers the highest level of reliability, ZESTRON has a whole range of state-of-the-art analytical methods and equipment at its disposal.
In addition to ionic contamination measurement for purity determination, by means of a contaminometer, we also have the option of ion chromatography for process validation and risk assessment.
Other available methods include, for example, the characterisation of organic residues on surfaces by means of FTIR spectroscopy, particle extraction and analysis according to VDA19 / ISO 16232 to ensure technical cleanliness, visual inspection by means of optical and digital microscopes as well as qualitative thermal analysis for the determination of anions, cations and weak organic acids.
