Unleash your testing techniques for reliable stability assessment
Supporting formulation development with data-driven stability testing and characterisation automation.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of stability assessment to your laboratory.Accelerated stability testingAccelerated stability testing simulates long-term storage conditions by exposing samples to elevated temperatures, humidity, or light. We can work with your formulation teams to integrate predictive stability models using thermal analysis (e.g., TGA, DSC), climatic chambers, and centrifugation protocols. Increase shelf-life prediction capabilities and optimisation of formulations with Labman's systems.
Particle size and distribution monitoringConsistent particle size is critical. We integrate techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) to monitor changes over time, helping identify aggregation, sedimentation, or Ostwald ripening issues before they impact product performance.
Zeta potential and surface charge analysisZeta potential measurements are central to predicting colloidal and dispersion stability. Whether you’re in agriculture, environmental science, or household care, we can work with you to incorporate electrokinetic assessments that reveal potential for flocculation or phase separation. By characterising surface charge dynamics, we help you fine-tune formulations for optimal shelf-life and functional performance.
Rheological and viscosity profilingWe support integration of rotational rheometry, oscillatory testing, flow behaviour analysis, and more into your QC and R&D workflows to assess time-dependent stability, thixotropy, and batch consistency under simulated handling and storage conditions.
Phase separation and sedimentation studiesVisual and instrument-based observation of phase separation (e.g., creaming, sedimentation, syneresis) is essential for stability assessment in emulsions and suspensions. Our service model allows us to integrate custom methods such as Turbiscan analysis, centrifugation, and shelf-life simulation for early detection of instability risks, particularly in food systems, agrochemicals, and household products.
Chemical and physical degradation monitoringChemical degradation can lead to loss of function, safety, or compliance, especially in pharma, energy storage, and specialty chemical sectors. We offer compatibility with HPLC, FTIR, UV-Vis, and mass spectrometry workflows to assess oxidative degradation, hydrolysis, or photo-instability. These integrations help you stay ahead of regulatory requirements while maintaining product integrity.
Key services
Lab technology that suits everyone
Liquid dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions are critical to a wide range of industries including paints and coatings, personal care, and specialty chemicals. Stability is essential to ensure consistent performance, appearance, and shelf life. Technologies like automated particle sizers, sample imaging and compatibility testing methods play a vital role in assessing how formulations will behave over time under various storage and environmental conditions.Custom projectsLabman are experts at creating technologies for your lab that work exactly as you need them to, with no compromises.
