Microbial Contamination Issues
We investigate and solve product contamination problems. Microbial problems are usually related to pH, percent solids, and general chemistry of the product. These factors (along with regulatory issues) determine the type of preservative needed to control microbial growth. We have experience with many preservative types.

Preservative Testing
We conduct preservative (biocide) testing in many types of materials and work with both the material manufacturer and their customers in selecting safe and effective biocides.

Formulation Assistance
We can assist you in evaluating the performance of existing or new products. We measure resistance of products to microbial degradation and help develop formulations that provide increased microbial stability. We can help select the most suitable biocides/preservatives to maintain product quality and stability.

Customer Support
We can help when your customers have microbiological questions or problems related to the use of your products.
