Schedule a MeetingReverse Engineering /Deformulation Services
Deformulation analysis, well known as “Reverse Engineering” is a process of qualitatively and quantitatively analysing the constituents or ingredients present for a given product. This can be a challenging task as constituents added during product developing or formulation may alter their physicochemical properties and may alter their behavior this may take place especially when many ingredients are added to produce a product.

Techniques applied for Deformulation
Thermal techniques like DSC, DTA & TGA are used for evaluation of physical properties of the material like Melting point, Glass transition and Loss on drying. While, Chromatographic techniques like HPLC, GC, HTPLC will aid in separation of components present in the sample. Whereas, Spectroscopic techniques like UV/Vis, FTIR, EDS, XRD, XRF, NMR and Raman are used for identification of components.
Microscopic techniques like Optical microscopy, SEM, AFM & TEM are used to evaluate microstructure and morphological characteristics of the components. Whereas, Radiographic techniques are applied for Non destructive evaluation (Non-destructive Technique / NDT).
Combination of techniques are applied where ever they are required for deformulation studies. Based on predefined project scope the appropriate techniques will be selected and applied to keep the project cost as economical as possible with trustworthy results.
