Substance ID
Oxford Analytical Services offers precise and GLP-compliant Substance Identification tailored to the unique needs of industries such as biocides, agrochemicals and industrial chemicals. Leveraging state-of-the-art analytical techniques, we provide fast and reliable identification of chemical substances, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards.
Whether you require routine testing or support for complex regulatory submissions, we deliver actionable insights with unmatched accuracy.
Substance ID Challenges We Solve
Identifying chemical substances accurately and in compliance with regulatory standards poses significant challenges, including:
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring substances meet the requirements of BPR, REACH and PPP regulations
- Complex Compositions: Handling multi-component formulations and identifying trace elements or impurities
- Customised Testing Needs: Adapting methods to the specific requirements of your product or regulatory submissions
- Tight Deadlines: Completing accurate analyses quickly to avoid delays in product registration or market entry
- Data Integrity: Producing reliable and reproducible results to support critical decision making
Our tailored approach ensures that these challenges are resolved efficiently, allowing you to focus on product innovation and compliance.

Let’s Get Started
Our services include:
We offer precise and GLP-compliant Substance Identification (Substance ID) Analysis tailored to the unique needs of industries such as biocides, agrochemicals and industrial chemicals. Find out more here.
We have been developing tailored methods at affordable prices for many years. Our chemists have developed thousands of methods over the years from simple single actives to complex products covering a wide range of levels and product types.
We can also validate already developed methods or support you through your own method development journey via consultation.
Our validation expertise covers global requirements including SANCO/3030/99, SANTE/2020/12830 and ICH Q2, OPPTS 830.1800 and APVMA among others. Find out more here
Need data for registration or a safety data sheet?
From explosive properties through to partition co-efficient, we cover a wider range of physical tests and can also develop our own in-house methods for novel experiments.
We use a range of methods from CIPAC, ASTM, ISO, OPPTS, OECD and more to meet global regulatory requirements. Find out more here
We can carry out impurity profiling, product screening, method validation and 5 batch analysis or Technical Equivalence studies to meet your registration needs. Our team develop tailored methods for your products and can also support with structural identification requirements.
We have many years of experience with successful studies over many compounds from Citric Acid to Pyrethrins covering elemental impurities, isomers, and additives of all types.
Whether your product is a TC, or TK we can help. Find out more here
We can design storage stability studies with or without GLP accreditation under the Biocides, Plant Protection, or ICH guidelines to support registration around the world. Find out more here
New regulations around Biocides came into place in 2012 . We have since therefore worked with industry to support registration needs conducting 5 batch analysis, routine testing, storage stability, physical testing and more on a wide range of Biocides.
Biostimulants are a wonderful new way to protect our plants and wildlife by using nature to protect itself. They are natural substances harnessed for their characteristics. After that they are developed into products that can be applied to seeds, plants and soils in order to stimulate natural growth.
We have worked with consultants and direct customers for many years supporting their Agrochemical registration testing requirements under global regulations. Find out more here
The fertiliser market is well established but under scrutiny with the introduction of new regulations demanding more rigorous testing and reducing acceptable levels of elements.
We are one of few labs that can offer the full suite of Fertiliser testing including Inorganic Arsenic, and Chromium VI. Find out more here
Need a reasoned case for a regulator? Trying to develop a product or a method? See what our chemists and consultants can do to help. Find out more here
We can cover elemental to extremely low levels. For instance if you just need to identify, quantify, or fully validate a method. Our ICP systems cover a wide range of elements often working on 10+ elements at the same time.
We regularly work on Silver, Lead, Arsenic, Chromium, Cadmium, Mercury, Copper, Boron and Sodium to name a few. Our list of capabilities stretches much longer! Find out more here
Need routine quality checks, one offs or concerned about contamination?
New regulations to meet? We often take on complex novel projects and it is what we are known for! Our chemists enjoy doing something different! Find out more here
Whether you are carrying out the development of a new formulation, changing suppliers or adjusting existing products, we can support you with formulation development and experimentation through product composition and formulation GLP compliant testing. Find out more here.
