Dispersion analysis that answers the question.

Contract testing and consulting for emulsions, suspensions, and foams.

We don’t just hand you raw data — we explain what the numbers mean, so you know what to change, which formulation wins, and whether it will hold.

Whether you have a proven formulation that just needs reliable shelf-life testing, or a complex system failure that requires deep fundamental investigation, we provide the exact level of support you need.

The problem

Most dispersion problems are invisible until they aren't.

A product that looks fine on day one separates in the warehouse. An emulsion that passed every check creams in the field. A competitor's version holds and yours doesn't, and no one can say why. The measurements that answer these questions exist — but they require instruments most companies don't own and interpretation most contract labs don't provide.

What you can do with it

Answers you can act on.

Predict shelf life

You don’t need to wait months to find out whether a product separates. Accelerated testing ranks formulations in days — and catches failures before they cost you a production run.

Reformulate with confidence

Push performance, move toward clean-label ingredients, or build a lower-cost formulation — and know it holds before scale-up.

Cut processing costs

Optimize homogenization and mixing — how hard, how long, how fast — while keeping product quality reproducible.

Benchmark the competition

How your product’s stability and performance compare to the products it competes against — measured, not guessed.

What we do

Four ways we answer the question.

Stability & shelf-life

Accelerated stability analysis by analytical centrifugation — we rank formulations, predict shelf-life, benchmark against competitors, and find the mechanism when something fails.

Rheology & flow

How your product pours, pumps, sprays, and holds its structure — flow curves and viscosity profiles, yield point determination, and oscillatory tests that show whether a formulation has the structure to keep particles suspended or is destined to settle.

Particle size & charge

Particle size distribution, absolute particle counting from 20 nm to 20 µm, and zeta potential — with the context to know whether a number is good news or a warning.

Interfacial & foam

Dynamic surface and interfacial tension, interfacial rheology, and foam behavior — the surface science behind why dispersions form, hold, or collapse.

Why us

Anyone can send you a chart. The value is in knowing what it means.

You get the facts, the numbers, and the understanding to act on them — a plain-language read of what the data say, why, and what to do next. Behind that read is a PhD in colloid chemistry and three decades of dispersion analysis across specialty chemicals, coatings, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, and nanomaterials.

Building this capability in-house means an instrument you'll use a few times a year, a technician to run it, and a specialist to interpret it. Sending us the work costs a fraction of that — with the interpretation included.
