Instructions for Mailing Your Sample Back to Data Clean for Analysis
Results are delivered by email approximately 10-14 days from the time samples are received.
The
analysis utilizes Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy
Dispersive Radiation to review both the geometry and elemental makeup of
the sample. The analysis is able to distinguish between simple tin
particles, common to almost all tin plated materials, and the dangerous
tin whiskers.
The test is intended to confirm the presence of Tin
Whiskers at the time and location the sample is collected. Whiskers
could be growing on other components, not tested. And an object that
shows no signs of Tin Whiskers could grow whiskers later.
