Routine Quality Control (QC) and Bespoke Analysis
Oxford Analytical Services provides comprehensive QC testing and investigative analysis, supporting manufacturers across biocides, agrochemicals, industrial chemicals and beyond. Whether you require routine batch testing, impurity analysis, or complex problem solving, our experts deliver fast, reliable and GLP compliant results.
Outsource your quality control testing to an independent, trusted laboratory with the capabilities to handle small and large volumes, ensuring product consistency, compliance and performance.
Routine Quality Control (QC) and Bespoke Analysis Challenges We Solve
Quality control and investigative analysis present several challenges, including:
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring products meet BPR, REACH, PPP and other industry standards
- Batch Consistency & Stability: Detecting variations in active content, impurities and trace metals
- Physical & Chemical Performance: Conducting viscosity, solubility and degradation studies to assess product behaviour over time
- Unusual R&D Challenges: Investigating unexpected degradation, formulation issues, or novel product development needs
- Limited In-House Testing Capabilities: Offering independent, specialised laboratory support when internal resources are insufficient
Our expertise ensures precise, reliable testing that helps you maintain product quality, compliance and market success.
