• Detect both organic and inorganic contamination.

• Quantitatively establish the level of cleanliness achieved by the existing cleaning process.

• Establish an acceptable range of quantitative measurement for surface cleanliness.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of new and potential cleaning processes.

• Optimize cleaning processes by measuring changes in the surface cleanliness level as a result of changes made to the cleaning processes.

• Monitor cleaning processes on an ongoing basis to assure that an acceptable level of cleanliness in achieved.

• Prevent product quality problems due to poor surface cleanliness.

• Optimize and monitor the rinse cycle to insure that parts have been properly rinsed.

• Replace water break and other qualitative tests with a quantitative measurement of surface cleanliness.

• Detect absence or presence of invisible, clear thin films, coatings or lubricants on virtually any surface.

• Monitor the relative thickness of very thin films, coatings or lubricants, both off-line and on-line.

CHANGES IN CHEMICAL STATE
OF ANY SURFACE

• Detect micro changes in the chemical state of any surface.

• Monitor parts or witness panels for deposition of Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC's)

• Monitor for deposition of contaminants due to out gassing of storage containers or packing materials.

• Indirect monitoring of blind holes and small chambers for contamination.

• Stop over-cleaning and reduce cleaning agent use.
• Reduce rejects & reworks.
• Improve coating & paint adhesion.
• Improve bond strength.
• Increase productivity by optimizing cleaning processes and maximize environmental protection.
