THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS
Your technical report just a click away!
The dedicated software developed by START Apps S.r.l. controls all operations. It also guides the operator, step by step, on how to carry out chemical-physical tests in order to obtain objective results. These results will help designers, restorers and administrators of Cultural Heritage to devise a modern approach to conservation.
Diagnosis projects are easily managed via simply structured and intuitive software, with illustrative images of the test steps and procedures and a flexible site related data management system.
In the case that further lab tests are required, the interface can help you prepare samples following internationally recognized standards and independently calculate the costs of surveys carried out at our multi service center. The results are automatically included in the technical report.
Detailed diagnosis tests: IBIX Extended Lab
Our multi-service center is equipped with the most advanced lab techniques to categorize the physical and chemical characteristics of materials, and is staffed by professional technicians, highly trained in diagnosing cultural heritage.
