Analytical Services

Analytical services pricing is determined by summing the Carbon Black Sales consultation fees mentioned above and, if applicable, third-party laboratory analysis fees. Carbon Black Sales will provide a free estimate for your project upon request. Unforeseeable difficulties in sample preparation and/or analyses may cause the actual cost to deviate from this estimate. Reverse engineering projects are particularly susceptible to deviations from the initial estimate, as information from one analytical technique is often used to determine which subsequent analyses are necessary. In some cases, complete reverse engineering is not possible and, as a result, can never be guaranteed. All third-party laboratory analysis fees must be paid in advance.


Carbon Black sales will determine which analytical method is most appropriate for your specific application and conduct the required analysis. The average turnaround time is approximately one week. Specialized analyses may be required for particular applications, and this work may be outsourced to reputable laboratories. Carbon Black Sales will be responsible for all interactions with third-party laboratories, including sample shipping, correspondence, and payment. Analytical capabilities include but are not limited to, the following:
