Common analyses
| Analysis | Used for |
|---|---|
| Proximates | Protein, total fat, moisture, ash and carbohydrate by difference: the base of a nutrition panel. |
| Sugars | Total and individual sugars for labeling and formulation checks. |
| Minerals | Calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, sodium, potassium and others by ICP. |
| Water activity and moisture | Predicts microbial risk and shelf stability, especially for gummies and powders. |
| Physical tests | Disintegration, weight variation and similar dosage-form checks. |
When to test
Test when you create a new formula, change a supplier or process, or need to confirm that an existing panel still matches the product. For supplements, compositional data also supports label-claim checks on minerals and macronutrients.
Turnaround and pricing
Turnaround depends on the test, the number of samples and the time of year. Standard and rush options are quoted per project. PENDING: turnaround times + pricing
