Commonly referred to as “chemical reverse engineering,” the process of product deformulation breaks down a formula into its constituent components, then pinpoints the specific identity and quantity of each component.
This ingredient analysis process can be applied to a wide range of products, for purposes such as identifying hazardous ingredients, improving a formulation for competitive advantage, identifying patent-infringing products via forensic testing, and spotting manufacturing problems.
Although many laboratories provide deformulation services, most are only able to provide a formulation’s primary components, not a complete deformulation analysis that identifies and quantifies all the components of a complex formulation.
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s expert chemists can not only identify a formulation’s major and minor components with incredible precision, but successfully recombine the ingredients to identify the formula’s production process. Our advanced analytical and extraction techniques have allowed us to successfully reverse engineer hundreds of formulations for a huge array of products and provide detailed information on the identity and quantity of ingredients.
