Child-Resistant Package Testing

Our child-resistant (CR) industrial and chemical package testing service aims to help your business protect families from accidental exposure to common but potent products. As the pioneer and premier laboratory in CR package testing, we have designed a process that verifies the effectiveness of your packaging systems under real-world conditions. 

We understand that compliance is not one-size-fits-all. A product subject to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) has different requirements than an agricultural chemical regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). We help you test against the correct U.S. and international standards for your specific product and target market. This approach demonstrates a clear commitment to safety, protecting your brand reputation, and helping prevent costly delays.

Our CR chemical package testing focuses on containers for substances like household cleaners, solvents, pool cleaners, and automotive fluids. We also conduct CR industrial product package testing for items such as packaged adhesives, sealants, and other manufactured goods where secure packaging is paramount.

Microbiological Testing Services

Microbial contamination presents a silent challenge to product stability and consumer safety. For nonsterile industrial products like paints, coatings, building materials, disinfectants, and biocides, our microbiological services are critical for verifying quality. In our FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant, and ISO17025:2017 accredited laboratory, we perform

We test your product’s preservative system against specified microorganisms to confirm it remains effective throughout its shelf life. This process is essential for products like paints, coatings, and adhesives that require long-term stability to prevent degradation in the field.

Our scientists quantify the microbial load in your raw materials and finished batches. We perform chemical testing on raw materials like specialty formulations. We also conduct industrial product microbiological testing on finished goods such as inks and detergents, helping you meet your own stringent internal quality specifications.

We assess your manufacturing environment for airborne viable bioburden to identify potential sources of contamination. With our support, you can maintain a cGMP-compliant environment and prevent airborne microbes from compromising critical chemical production lines.

We offer surface testing to verify the efficacy of your cleaning processes. This helps protect the purity of your formulations between different product batches.

Our scientists also monitor your water systems to verify that they consistently produce water that meets the required standards for microbial purity.
