What EAG Laboratories does

EAG Laboratories, operating as Eurofins EAG Laboratories, is a contract scientific services firm specializing in materials testing, materials characterization, and failure analysis for technology-driven industries. The company is headquartered in San Diego, was founded in 1978 (originally as Evans Analytical Group, rebranded to EAG Laboratories in 2016), and operates more than 20 laboratories across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with a fleet of over 2,500 instruments. The company serves a customer base spanning semiconductors, aerospace and defense, energy storage and batteries, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, automotive, consumer electronics, and lighting/LED, and provides both routine analytical services and litigation and expert witness support.

EAG's underlying technology is built around a deep portfolio of analytical techniques — over 100 methodologies covering SIMS (including proprietary PCOR-SIMS quantification), TEM/FIB (including Plasma FIB, Cryo-FIB/SEM, Monochromated EELS, nanoprobing), surface analysis (Auger, XPS, TOF-SIMS), spectroscopy (ICP-MS, GDMS, NMR, FTIR, Raman), chromatography (GC-MS, LC-MS, IC, GPC), and ATE and reliability testing (Advantest, Teradyne, Aehr, HALT/HASS, ESD/latch-up, burn-in). Recently added capabilities include the QuantumDiamonds QDM.1 system for non-destructive 3D current-pathway imaging in semiconductor failure analysis and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy for battery testing. These instruments underpin failure analysis, contamination identification, purity testing, surface analysis, regulatory compliance testing, and intellectual property and product liability litigation support.

The revenue model is a pure professional services model: testing, analysis, and consulting engagements priced on a quote, project, or contract basis with no public pricing. Distribution is sales-led and consultative, combining direct enterprise field sales and inside sales with centralized technical consultation. End markets — particularly semiconductors, batteries, and medical devices — provide structural tailwinds, with semiconductor testing services projected to grow at a 9.16% CAGR through 2033. Since the 2018 acquisition by Eurofins Scientific, EAG has executed a multi-year buy-and-build program (Pernicka, Nanolab Technologies, FQL, MASER Engineering, Chip Test Solutions, Qualitech AG) and physical expansion into new geographies (China 2019, Phoenix 2025, Korea 2026).
