Reverse Engineering and Formulation

Laboratory Expertise in De-Formulation and Reverse Engineering Analysis

Intertek scientists provide significant expertise combined with analytical capabilities to help clients reverse and engineer formulations, materials and products. With the development of increasingly complex product formulations, final products often contains dozens of components at varying structural and concentration levels.

Intertek research capabilities enable formulations of interest to be duplicated or improved upon. This deconstruction of a formulation can be as difficult as the design of the product. Intertek expertise helps our clients understand what is going on.

Clients want to understand the nature of the various components of a formulation, ingredient concentration and how these components and ingredients interact. Formulation studies are run for quality control issues, for evaluating market penetration of particular components, and to better understand particular formulations of interest.
