Eurofins EAG Laboratories, a global leader in materials testing services and part of the international network of Eurofins laboratories, is expanding its battery materials testing capabilities with a new purpose-built 6,600 square-foot laboratory located in Sunnyvale, CA. and expanded facilities at its Syracuse, New York laboratory with the addition of 6,500 square-foot of new laboratory space.
Both laboratories further complement Eurofins EAG Laboratories’ extensive testing techniques and capabilities covering over 150 material testing techniques. Eurofins EAG Laboratories is the only independent battery testing laboratory with ‘turnkey’ materials and failure analysis-based testing capabilities in the United States, addressing materials testing needs throughout the entire battery life cycle, for batteries ranging in size from a coin cell battery to an EV (Electric Vehicle) battery pack. Eurofins EAG Laboratories’ suite of services support battery innovation, time to market, and the improvement of battery quality and reliability.
Notable features of the battery testing laboratories include:
- A dedicated dry room and argon-filled gloveboxes to safely open batteries and diagnose components in as-is conditions.
- Battery cyclers that work with various sizes of batteries to facilitate galvanostatic and potentiostatic cycling tests.
- An air-free transfer system that is connected to an expanding network of services within Eurofins EAG Laboratories.
- Battery tear down services that focus on isolating specific components or materials for characterisation.
- Prototype coin cells to test electrode performance.
- Cyro Plasma FIB for large cross-sectioning and compositional analysis of batteries.
- Gas analysis tools to measure gas-forming elements and gases related to batteries and battery components.
