RENTING

The lab analysis tools can be rented to companies. This collaboration can be done according to 2 major axes:

Machines renting with an engineer in charge of the tests.
Because a very specialized level of knowledge can be needed for some tools (like the Scanning Electron Microscope, for example).
One of the main advantages for a company to use the lab services is its reactivity (sometimes in less than 24 hours !) and the guarantee to be able to analyze the results very fast.

Machine renting without an engineer.
Two possibilities are then offered to you:

	If tools don’t need a specialized engineer, the renting can be done following specified conditions.
	If tools are quite difficult to use, it is possible to have someone trained to use those machines in the best working conditions.

In every case, an annual agreement is signed, giving the best possible conditions
