Scaling up your product from benchtop to manufacturing is a key part of the development process. It’s your opportunity to make sure the formulation is viable and transferable to a commercial environment. We can support you through this critical stage and ensure product quality is maintained. Our technical experts carry out a series of structured pilot scale and scale-up trials, each designed to explore how your product behaves under defined processing and packaging conditions.
By understanding the impact, we can then help you fine-tune your product formulation and manufacturing controls to achieve a successful outcome. Any problems that come up during the trials - such as changes to texture, appearance or viscosity - are quickly identified and resolved by our technical experts.
Of course, you also need to be confident that your product will always meet consumer expectations. That’s why we conduct post-trial shelf-life testing on products that are as close to the final format as possible - and that includes the packaging.
Using a range of targeted analytical techniques, we assess key characteristics including:
