Contract Development and Testing Services
Looking for assistance with formulation development?
With CJB Applied Technologies, you’ll experience a unique level of partnership in formulation development. Our expertise, equipment and well-honed processes allow us to move through the product development cycle with efficiency and ease. Part of our expertise includes extensive experience developing products needing approval by regulatory bodies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We also have deep expertise with multiple formulation types, including:
- Suspension Concentrates
- Oil Dispersion
- Dry Flowables
- Extruded Granules
- Soluble Liquids
- Emulsifiable Concentrates
- Impregnated Granules
- Stabilized Emulsions
- Suspo-emulsions
- Baits
Here’s how we can help:
When developing a formulation, we optimize the chemical and/or biological and physical properties to meet the demands of the end-use product. We consider the conditions needed for manufacturing, handling and storage, the potential environmental conditions at application (e.g., water, pH, temperature), and more.
No two concepts or products are the same. At CJB Applied Technologies, our development process will turn your ideas into effective products quickly. We have the appropriate process, team, equipment, safety protocols, testing methods and experience to optimize the product development cycle to reduce the time between project startup and commercialization.
What does this look like?
Laboratory Development: Our team of highly skilled formulation chemists relies on our state-of-the-art synthetic chemistry and bioconversions laboratories. Our labs are ground zero for critical development steps, including:
- Identifying the most appropriate formulation type
- Ensuring the formulation meets handling, storage and application requirements
Comprehensive Testing: Another critical development step is testing to ensure the formulation meets your goals. We can also work with you to develop alternate formulations and validate alternative ingredient sources.
- Analytical Testing: We are backed by decades of experience in testing to verify product quality and formulation safety, check compatibility with other potential components or tank-mix partners, and ensure the formulation scales without degradation.
- Stability Testing: For products expected to be under storage for an extended period of time, it is vital to understand how long they can be stored and how environmental conditions impact their effectiveness.
- Greenhouse, Field Testing: For our agricultural and other pest control customers, we have an onsite greenhouse to test efficacy. We can also manage performance trials in small-scale field trials.
