Advanced Modeling and Data Analysis

Generating great data is often just the starting point of unlocking insights. For many analytical techniques, specialized expertise is often needed to interpret, model and analyze data. At Covalent, we consider it to be our mission to help customers in virtually all their metrology and characterization needs - whether we generated the data or not. Customers can access expert data analysis and modeling services on an hourly or on a project basis. If you are interested in speaking with us about a data modeling, interpretation or analysis need you have, please contact us to learn more.

Consulting Services

Covalent’s consulting solutions provide a cost-effective way to flex your team’s capacity and accelerate resolution of your R&D challenges. Customers enjoy flexible access to a broad and deep bench of state-of-the-art instruments and world class experts without the capital and fixed costs associated with extensive internal staffing and labs.

Method Development

The “right” analytical technique for a particular project depends on many factors. Traditional approaches and known methods may be too expensive or too slow. Perhaps the customer does not want the sample to be destroyed or physically altered during the analysis. Or perhaps sensitivity to a particular characteristic or element is not sufficient with typical methods. In special cases customers need customized support to research and / or develop non-traditional methods and approaches to solve their specific challenges. At Covalent, we see our mission as solving customer challenges, not selling from a catalog. If you have been struggling to find a method or recipe that meets your needs, our experts are available on a best-efforts, project or hourly basis to support you in your project.
