Deformulation Studies

The deformulation analysis of a product, also known as “reverse chemical engineering”, is the process of analytically analyzing a formulation of a material or product to separate and determine the specific identity and exact amount of its components (both active ingredients and excipients).

This service is often used to replicate existing products, obtain detailed information about competing products, product brands, detect discrepancies in batch-to-batch products, and troubleshoot complex product failures.

Deformulation services can be used to analyze and reorganize a wide variety of products, from solid oral forms to injectables, through topical formulas and even controlled release products.
