Analytical testing is a critical piece of the product development puzzle. It encompasses many different tests that are designed to guarantee product quality, safety and compliance with regulatory criteria.
Within the agricultural space, analytical chemists work closely with formulation chemists and the pilot and commercial scale-up teams to ensure product integrity and effectiveness. This involves using techniques like chromatography, designed to assess purity and content of each component within a product, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC).
Analytical chemists also conduct a number of physical tests to assess characteristics like particle size, pH density, dispersibility, water content and stability using tools and analytical methods that include centrifuge, titration, wet sieve, dry sieve and fluorescence microscopy.
For companies with a deep R&D pipeline or limited staffing expertise, completing the necessary analytical testing can be a challenge. Our team is backed by decades of analytical and formulation experience to help companies fill their testing capacity gaps. In addition, our pilot plant team supports your scale-up needs through commercialization, and if you are experiencing production capacity constraints, they can seamlessly transition your product to our sister company CJB Industries for commercial production.
