How we help Solve a product, formulation or performance problem
Stability testing, compatibility testing and performance evaluation for product, formulation and materials challenges.
How we work From insight to outcome
When a product is not delivering the performance you need, or when an existing formulation or material no longer fits your technical, regulatory or sustainability requirements, you need more than raw data. You need clear scientific testing, interpretation and a workable plan.
Metalchemy supports customers with stability testing, compatibility testing, performance evaluation and broader materials problem-solving across beauty and personal care, food packaging, healthcare, raw materials, fashion and textiles, and agriculture and plant enhancers.
Problems We Solve Typical challenges we help with
Product performance not meeting expectations
Formulation instability or limited efficacy
Shelf life or preservation challenges
Packaging not delivering the required function
Need to replace harmful or outdated chemistries
Need to replace out-dated regulatory compliance
Difficulty improving sustainability without losing performance
Uncertainty about how to move from concept to scalable solution
Services Physical & Chemical Lab Testing
Metalchemy provides scientific services that help customers assess how a product, ingredient, formulation or material is likely to perform in practice. Our support includes:
Stability testing
Shelf-life and preservation systems -related evaluation
Emulsion / colloid stability optimisation
Compatibility testing
Performance evaluation, mechanical testing
Formulation and materials assessment
We do not just generate data. We help interpret results in the context of product development, scale-up, manufacturability and commercial decision-making.
Services Microbiology & Cell Culture
Lab Testing
Metalchemy provides microbiology and cell culture testing services to help customers assess the biological performance, safety and suitability of products, ingredients and materials.
These services support customers working across beauty and personal care, healthcare, raw materials, agriculture and plant enhancers, food-related applications and other science-led sectors where biological testing can inform product development, reformulation and commercial decision-making.
-
Depending on the project, our microbiology and cell culture testing services can support evaluation of:
Antimicrobial additive and preservation systems performance
Challenge testing
Biological response and activity
Compatibility in biologically relevant environments
In vitro cytotoxicity assays
Product and ingredient behaviour relevant to application or end use
Questions arising during development, reformulation or troubleshooting
We are ISO 22196 qualified and can determine antibacterial activity of packaging materials
-
We work with customers who need scientific testing that goes beyond data generation alone.
That means helping define the right question, carrying out relevant biological testing, and interpreting the results in the context of product performance, formulation decisions, scale-up and commercial priorities.
Our microbiology and cell culture testing services are particularly useful where customers need stronger evidence around how an ingredient, formulation or material is likely to behave in practice. We adhere to the most stringent ISO testing standards, including ISO 22196 and ISO 10993.
-
Unlike stand-alone or university labs, Metalchemy combines scientific testing capability with broader formulation, materials and manufacturing understanding. That means we can help customers connect biological test results to practical next steps, rather than leaving them to isolated data points.
Our work is supported by ISO 9001-certified quality management systems, giving customers confidence in disciplined, quality-managed project delivery.
Typical reasons customers come to us for microbiology or cell culture testing:
To assess antimicrobial performance
To understand biological behaviour relevant to a product or ingredient
To compare formulation options
To support development or reformulation decisions
To strengthen technical evidence before scale-up or commercial discussions
How We Help A structured path
from problem to outcome
We work with you to understand the root challenge, evaluate the most promising technical options and support development towards a commercially viable outcome.
Depending on the brief, this may include stability testing, compatibility testing, performance evaluation, formulation support, materials selection, performance improvement, green chemistry integration, prototype development, scale-up planning and regulatory-aware design.
Trusted Expertise Why Metalchemy?
We combine scientific depth with commercial focus. Rather than stopping at analysis, we help translate technical understanding into practical progress.
Our patented green synthesis platform supports the development of high-performance, non-toxic materials with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, helping customers improve functionality, reduce reliance on harmful chemicals and respond to growing sustainability demands.
Our ISO 9001-certified quality processes also support robust, repeatable project delivery.
