“This new “live” capability will allow NTS to work more closely with our clients, allowing them real time access to their analysis from the comfort of their office”, stated Keith Sellers, Operations Manager at NTS Baltimore, adding, “From there, the client can provide immediate instruction as to how the analysis can be focused or how the analysis can be changed to meet their specific need”.Learn more about the SEM/EDS Analytical Services on our main website or contact us today to discuss your next program.
