Study Equipment
SGS has a wide variety of study equipment to help you support your claims. If there is study equipment you are interested in using on your study and it is not listed below, please contact us and we may be able to obtain one for your study. Clients may also send us their own equipment for use on their studies and we will gladly set aside some time to be trained on anything we are not familiar using. We have adequate space to store the equipment during the study and while it is not being used.
