Comprehensive Analytical Services at ADSL
Preservative Efficacy Testing
Leading our array of services is the preservative efficacy testing carried out in our ISO 17025 accredited microbiological facility at our UK headquarters. We offer an extensive selection of tests to ascertain the effectiveness of preservatives in combatting microbial contamination. This includes batch release QC testing, as well as water and biocidal testing.
Water Testing
Given the importance of water quality in the formulation and manufacturing of cosmetic products, our water testing services are designed to detect and quantify organism levels to reduce contamination risks. Identifying pathogens is essential to maintain the integrity and shelf life of products by ensuring that preservative levels are adequately maintained.
Quality Testing
Our commitment to quality extends beyond the development phase, incorporating consistent checks throughout the manufacturing process to adhere to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Our suite of tests includes Total Viable Count (TVC) for aerobic mesophilic organisms, yeast, and mold, and the monitoring of specific pathogens such as S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa.
The dedication of our lab team to excellence and innovation in analytical testing not only aids our clients in achieving regulatory compliance but also builds consumer trust through the guarantee of product safety and quality.
