Deformulation or reverse engineering is the process of determining and evaluating the unstated constituents of a chemical formula. Regardless of its use, deformulation is crucial in product composition analysis for patent assessment, formula confirmation, or contamination testing. It helps ensure the protection of intellectual properties, ensuring standards compliance, and enhancing product formulations through the evaluation of key components and their interactions.
We provide deformulation and reverse engineering services to customers from various lines of business at Chromak Research. We are able to evaluate pharmaceutical mixtures and consumer product formulations ranging from the more complex to the simpler.
Deformulation Testing: Our Methodology
The methodology of deformulation testing encompasses the application of precisely organized and analytical procedures geared toward breaking down a product’s formula into its distinctive parts.
At Chromak Research, we pride ourselves on having the most advanced equipment and using effective and reliable methods to provide precise results. Due to our expertise, we can uncover all major and minor constituents and active ingredients and analyze their interactions to meet the desired product expectations. Some of the testing procedures we utilize are: Chromatography (HPLC, LC/MS, GC, TLC), Spectroscopy (ICP-MS, MS, UV-Vis, FTIR), and Microscopy.
The listed techniques enable us to evaluate a comprehensive list of formulations, including those used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or harnessed for industrial purposes.
The Advantages of Deformulation & Reverse Engineering
Deformulation & reverse engineering provide numerous benefits to a variety of industries. The detailed examination of intricate formulations we perform provides critical information about a product’s make-up, its function, and the likely risks associated with it. The main advantages include the following:
Why Deformulation and Reverse Engineering Matter
Deformulation and reverse engineering are imperative aspects of business optimization and safeguarding internal formulations. These processes allow businesses to safeguard their inventions and product innovation while anticipating market changes. Formulation plays an essential role in ensuring competitiveness in a fast-changing and highly regulated environment, be it checking an invention against patent regulations, analyzing a competitor’s product, or determining the legitimacy of a specific formula.
For industries dealing with pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals, knowing—and being able to substantiate—the product composition guarantees that the product is safe, effective, and reliable. At Chromak, we offer precision deformulation and reverse engineering services while guaranteeing confidentiality of the clients’ proprietary information.
