Product composition and formulation

Product composition and formulation - GLP compliant testing

Whether you are carrying out the development of a new formulation, changing suppliers or adjusting existing products, we can support you with formulation development and experimentation through product composition and formulation GLP compliant testing.

Our chemists have years of experience with many types of products including Biocides, Plant protection products, cosmetics, technical materials, oil compositions, from off the shelf to newly formulated or even just at the design stage.

We can test out your formulation plans in the laboratory and work directly with your team to understand your objectives. We can test your samples formulated by you, or we can formulate them for you in our laboratory.

If you want to test a number of options before manufacture we can formulate your products at different ratios, or with different additives and then put them through a series of tests to determine their predicted long and/or short term suitability. 

This might include temperature stress testing, heavy metals testing, impurity testing, physical testing such as Viscosity. 

We can design the testing schedule to your individual product and needs.

Then once you have a product you are happy with, we can support you through your registration journey offering various GLP testing services and directing you to our network of partners that can support you with toxicity, e-fate or even just dossier preparation. 

Whatever you need we have a network to take the pressure off!

Our Services

New regulations around Biocides came into place in 2012 . We have since therefore worked with industry to support registration needs conducting 5 batch analysis, routine testing, storage stability, physical testing and more on a wide range of Biocides.

Biostimulants are a wonderful new way to protect our plants and wildlife by using nature to protect itself. They are natural substances harnessed for their characteristics. After that they are developed into products that can be applied to seeds, plants and soils in order to stimulate natural growth. 

We have worked with consultants and direct customers for many years supporting their Agrochemical registration testing requirements under global regulations. Find out more here

We can design storage stability studies with or without GLP accreditation under the Biocides, Plant Protection, or ICH guidelines to support registration around the world. Find out more here

Need data for registration or a safety data sheet?

From explosive properties through to partition co-efficient, we cover a wider range of physical tests and can also develop our own in-house methods for novel experiments.

We use a range of methods from CIPAC, ASTM, ISO, OPPTS, OECD and more to meet global regulatory requirements. Find out more here

We can cover elemental to extremely low levels. If you just need to identify, quantify, or fully validate a method. Our ICP systems cover a wide range of elements often working on 10+ elements simultaneously. 

We regularly work on Silver, Lead, Arsenic, Chromium, Cadmium, Mercury, Copper, Boron and Sodium to name a few. Our list of capabilities stretches much longer! Find out more here

We can carry out impurity profiling, product screening, method validation and 5 batch analysis or Technical Equivalence studies to meet your registration needs. Our team develops tailored methods for your products and can also support with structural identification requirements.

We have many years of experience with successful studies over many compounds from Citric Acid to Pyrethrins covering elemental impurities, isomers, and additives of all types. 

Whether your product is a TC, or TK we can help. Find out more here

We have been developing bespoke methods at affordable prices for many years. Our chemists have developed thousands of methods over the years from simple single actives to complex products covering a wide range of levels and product types. 

We can also validate already developed methods or support you through your own method development journey via consultation.

Our validation expertise covers global requirements including SANCO/3030/99, SANTE/2020/12830 and ICH Q2, OPPTS 830.1800 and APVMA among others. Find out more here

The fertiliser market is well established but under scrutiny with the introduction of new regulations demanding more rigorous testing and reducing acceptable levels of elements. 

We are one of few labs that can offer the full suite of Fertiliser testing including Inorganic Arsenic, and Chromium VI. Find out more here

Need routine quality checks, one offs or concerned about contamination?

New regulations to meet? We often take on complex novel projects and it is what we are known for! Our chemists enjoy doing something different! Find out more here
