POLARIS Laboratories, LLC, develops and validates modifications to ASTM standard methods. Reasons for modification include: minimization of required sample and supplies, use of modern automated equipment, and less variation in sample preparation and testing. The modifications reduce costs and in most cases improve throughput, which results in lower sample pricing and faster turnaround time for our customers.
