Avomeen Analytical Services specializes in the deformulation services of a wide range of products and industries. Our scientists work to separate and identify the chemical composition of complex mixtures. Our analysis will also attempt to quantify the different components of the sample.
Deformulation analysis provides results that allow our clients to:
Scientists in our deformulation lab can reverse engineer a variety of products, including cosmetics, plastics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cleaning products, and a wide range of consumer and specialty products.
Analytical techniques utilized in our deformulation analyses include:
Industry: Consumer Products
Problem: Japanese competitor sold a better product
Solution: A ball-point pen manufacturer wanted to know why the ink from a competing Japanese ball-point manufacturer dried faster and had a brighter color. The problem called for a detailed deformulation analysis of the competing product, which involved separation of the various components using a series of solvent extractions and preparative chromatographic techniques. The ingredients were identified using NMR, GC/MS and FT-IR spectroscopy which allowed the client to replace certain ingredients to improve his products performance.
