Michigan Technological University and ACMAL have a history of collaborating with external
clients, including for-profit, academic, and nonprofit organizations.
This collaboration includes staff operated analysis of samples using ACMAL equipment, at appropriate rates. External users are not allowed to operate the equipment at this time, so we will
perform the analysis for you.
ACMAL also provides facility tours by request.
