Overview

Worker performing chemical analysis in Kinectrics facility

Chemistry, the science that covers the understanding of matter, is mainly involved with the way compounds made of atoms, molecules, and ions interact so that chemists can make sense of the messy complexities of molecules. Assaying is a chemical process whereby materials are qualitatively assessed and/or quantitatively measured to establish what chemicals are present and in what concentration.

Organizations around the world rely on us to assess the chemistry of various irradiated and non-irritated materials. The data our team obtains, informs their decision-making and can solve a wide range of problems across the entire electricity lifecycle, including waste management.

Our diverse chemistry group is equipped with state-of-the-art solutions for chemical, radiochemical, conventional, and dosimetry analysis. Backed by our research and development groups, our world-class experts offer innovative solutions that always meet our clients' needs.

We foster confidence through our wide range of expertise, impartiality, and independence. We are passionate about innovation, responsible to our clients, and committed to health, safety, and quality.
