Brighton Science is the global leader in surface quality control for adhesion-critical manufacturing. Our flagship technology, the Surface Analyst, delivers rapid, quantitative, and non-destructive surface cleanliness measurements directly on the production floor or in the lab. By enabling real-time verification of surface preparation before bonding, coating, or sealing, we help manufacturers eliminate costly adhesion failures, improve yield, and maintain consistent quality. Our customers span high-reliability industries including aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, electronics, and energy — sectors where surface preparation is mission-critical and failure is not an option. Brighton Science solutions integrate seamlessly into quality systems, from R&D to high-volume production, and are trusted by engineers, quality managers, and production teams worldwide to ensure optimal adhesion performance without guesswork or destructive testing.

Surface Analyst 3001

Problem Statement:

Manufacturers in aerospace and other high-reliability industries face costly adhesion failures caused by undetected surface contamination and inconsistent preparation methods. Traditional verification often relies on destructive, time-consuming tests that delay production and provide limited insight. Without a fast, quantitative, and non-invasive way to confirm surface readiness in real time, teams risk rework, scrap, production delays, and compromised product performance.

Technology Solution Statement:

The Surface Analyst uses patented water contact angle measurement technology to instantly verify surface cleanliness and readiness for bonding. Portable, non-destructive, and easy to operate, it provides real-time, quantitative data at any point in production. This empowers manufacturers to detect contamination, validate preparation processes, and maintain consistent adhesion performance without slowing operations.

Benefits Statement:

By enabling rapid, non-destructive surface verification, the Surface Analyst dramatically reduces adhesion-related failures and associated costs. Manufacturers gain consistent, repeatable quality control across processes, locations, and teams. Early detection of contamination minimizes rework and waste, while real-time measurement increases process yield, speeds production, and enhances customer confidence. The technology replaces destructive tests with a simple, portable, and highly reliable tool, ensuring surfaces are always prepared for optimal bonding and coating performance.
