Let’s Talk About Your Needs

Manufacturing Testing Lab: Common Myths & Misconceptions

Releasing a new product or updating the manufacturing process of an existing product doesn’t have to be difficult. Avomeen believes our partnership and support can help you achieve anything. We’re here to dismiss common myths about manufacturing labs and the hardships of product development.

Myth #1: My company is too small to work with Avomeen.

Avomeen has worked with companies of all shapes and sizes from startups to companies you’d recognize at national distributors and retailers. We’re ready to partner with you to help you turn your big dreams into reality.

Myth #2: My idea isn’t formed enough to work with a lab.

Although having a fully formed concept or idea can help the process go more quickly, it isn’t totally necessary. Avomeen’s formulation and innovation experts will work with you from early concepting to production to ensure your needs are fully met.

Myth #3: The previous manufacturer I was using owns rights to my product’s formulation, so I will have to create an entirely new product.

Avomeen’s formulation experts can deformulate, or reverse engineer, any product to identify original components or create a completely new formula, which your organization will own the intellectual property (IP) rights to. This enables you to own your formula in its entirety. You will no longer be limited to a particular manufacturer, distributor or vendor.

Comprehensive Manufacturing Product Testing Support

Product Deformulation

Chemical reverse engineering, commonly known as deformulation, is the method of analyzing a product’s formulation to identify individual components and quantify those specific components. In product development and manufacturing, this process is vital recovering lost formulas or enhancing existing product formulas to meet performance or regulatory specifications. Avomeen’s deformulation laboratory can identify and quantify both major and minor components within a variety of products. Deformulation often leads to product reformulation, another area of expertise for Avomeen’s team of innovators and formulation scientists.

Product Reformulation

Product reformulation is taking the existing formulation and modifying specific components to improve the overall performance, change various physical properties or even make the product more environmentally friendly. Our team of expert formulators can change colors, scents, textures and other aspects to meet regulatory requirements, improve performance, or make minor modifications to meet established performance and ingredient criteria. Some formulations may need major changes whereas in others, slight tweaks can result in an optimized formula with peak performance.

Formulation Development
