ERZLABOR is your reliable partner for automated materials characterization and complex resource analytics – ranging from ores to mobile phones. We are specialists in analyzing rocks, mineral resources and manufactured inorganic materials, helping you to increase the resource efficiency and sustainability of your processes and products. You benefit from our innovative analytical approach to advanced materials characterization, providing you with options for the reduction of raw materials losses and thus process-, energy- and production costs.

Sample Preparation

Perfectly polished samples are an essential prerequisite to obtain ideal measurement conditions. We use a variety of techniques to ensure optimal preparation of your samples. The ERZLABOR team specializes in the preparation of challenging and complex materials, regardless of grain-size. Examples include copper shale, stibnite, kaolin, micas, graphite, flotation products, agglomerates, pellets, spherules, ashes, slurries, recycling materials and many more. You benefit from our extensive experience and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.

Resource Analytics

We perform fast, statistically reliable and detailed characterization on a wide range of natural and artificial materials. ERZLABOR provides both scanning electron microscopy (MLA, QEMSCAN) and X-ray analytics (XRD, XRF). Besides quantitative materials characterization, MLA and QEMSCAN yield additional process-relevant parameters such as particle sizes and liberation. The range of services we offer is widely applicable in the entire raw materials value chain – from exploration through to recycling.

Training & Support

Our professional support with data interpretation enables you to efficiently achieve the best outcomes for your projects, products and services. With our expertise in exploration, mining and minerals processing we provide a valuable contribution to your business strategy. Besides our innovative approach to advanced material characterization, our portfolio also includes geometallurgical modelling which can be used to optimize net project value and operational performance. Furthermore, we offer more general consulting services, e.g. on resource potential evaluation or the global availability of commodities like indium, lithium or cobalt.
