I'll just be doinga comparison to examine how close the other fluids match up to the Diaqueen, using the following tests :

-Brookfield viscosity
-density (probably)
-FTIR spectroscopy
-TGA (thermal analysis)

NATA LAB?

Nah not NATA accredited, but our instruments are NATA certified for accuracy. We don't do enough routine jobs to get certification for anything in particular, its too much of a pain in the ass.
