Navigate by product category — not by what the lab calls its departments. Every card reads like a test report summary: standards, turnaround, methodology.
Identifies and quantifies chemical migration from food-contact materials into food simulants. Required for FDA clearance and EU market entry.
Methodology
GC-MS and LC-MS/MS analysis using aqueous, acidic, and fatty food simulants at temperature and time conditions per applicable regulation. Detection limits < 0.01 mg/kg.
Sample Requirements
Minimum 3 production samples per SKU, sealed in original packaging. Include material safety data sheets if available.
Minimum Sample Size
6 units minimum
Screens for lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and 14 additional regulated metals in food-contact materials and coatings.
Methodology
ICP-MS digestion protocol with certified reference standards. Simultaneous multi-element analysis across 20 analytes per run.
Sample Requirements
50g material sample or 3 full articles. Include lot number and manufacturing date.
Minimum Sample Size
50g or 3 articles
Predicts real-time shelf stability using accelerated aging chambers. Covers physical, chemical, and microbiological endpoints.
Methodology
Arrhenius-based accelerated aging at 40°C/75% RH with intermediate pulls at 3, 6, 9-month equivalents. Full sensory, pH, water activity, and microbial panel at each pull.
Sample Requirements
24 units per SKU per timepoint. Retain samples must be provided in final consumer packaging.
Minimum Sample Size
24 units per timepoint
Determines whether a cosmetic formulation's preservative system adequately protects against microbial contamination through the product's shelf life.
Methodology
Challenge testing with 5 compendial organisms (S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, A. brasiliensis) at 3 inoculum levels. Log-reduction assessment at Day 7, 14, and 28.
Sample Requirements
6 × 50mL or equivalent of final formulation. Do not freeze. Ship at ambient temperature.
Minimum Sample Size
300mL total volume
In-vitro dermal irritation and sensitization assessment using reconstructed human epidermis models. No animal testing.
Methodology

5 samples of each fabric/material component. Minimum 15cm × 15cm swatches.
Minimum Sample Size
5 samples per material
Measures tensile strength, elongation at break, and heat-seal peel force for flexible packaging films and pouches.
Methodology
Universal testing machine at 250mm/min crosshead speed. 15mm specimen width. Minimum 10 specimens per condition. Temperature conditioning per ISO 23529.
Sample Requirements
1 roll (minimum 3m) of each film structure, or 20 sealed pouches.
Minimum Sample Size
3m roll or 20 pouches
Quantifies oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of packaging substrates and laminates.
Methodology
Coulometric sensor (OTR) and infrared sensor (WVTR) at 23°C/50% RH standard and tropical conditions (38°C/90% RH). Reported in cc/m²/day and g/m²/day.
Sample Requirements
5 specimens per film structure, 100cm² minimum each. Condition 24hrs before testing.
Minimum Sample Size
5 × 100cm² specimens
From scope to
signed report
Four steps. No ambiguity. The same protocol whether you're a garage startup or a Fortune 500 procurement team racing toward a retailer deadline.
Tell us what you make and where you're selling.
Fill out the Testing Scope form with your product category, target markets, and compliance targets. Our intake team reviews within 4 business hours and returns a preliminary quote and timeline.
We send a pre-labeled sample submission kit.
Once scope is confirmed, you receive chain-of-custody documentation and a pre-addressed shipping label. Samples enter our LIMS upon receipt and are assigned a unique accession ID.
Every instrument calibrated. Every measurement traceable.
Testing proceeds against the confirmed scope. ISO 17025 quality controls run concurrently — certified reference materials, blind duplicates, and inter-laboratory checks where applicable.
ISO 17025 test report, buyer-ready.
Signed, stamped reports delivered via secure portal in PDF and machine-readable XML. Format accepted by Target, Walmart, Amazon, and all major EU notified bodies. Amendments issued within 48 hours if required.
Trust earned
before the ask
FMCG brands, retail suppliers, and garage startups. Every engagement measured by one metric: did the report get the product to shelf?
"We needed EN 71-1 and FDA 21 CFR reports for a big-box retail submission in 9 days. Assay turned around a full mechanical and chemical scope in 8. The report format was accepted by the buyer without a single revision request."
