Gideon Analytical provides a variety of techniques which allow us to be the most advanced failure analysis house with electrical components, printed circuit boards, materials, quality control, vendor inspection, and understanding component processes. We design, debug and review electrical schematics, in addition to matching the failure with a design, application, process, manufacturing, or environmental issue. We have over 35 years experience in this area.
