ADMIXTIO

Your R&D Partner

ADMIXTIO is a totally reliable partner, whose core values are the personalized attention,flexibility and rigor we apply to each of the projects we deal with.

ADMIXTIO can handle an entire R & D project or a particular step of it.

Basic R&D

• Determination of possible applications of new actives

• Formulation development

• Regulations support

Testing

• Efficacy and security testing

• Microbiology and toxicology testing.

Communication

• Scientific support to marketing claims

• Articles for peer reviewed journals and presentations for congresses and websites

The team at ADMIXTIO is highly experienced in theoretical and applied microbiology, particularly fitting the specific needs of the producers of cosmetics, food and beverages, and cleaning and disinfecting products.

One of the key services at ADMIXTIO is our advanced microbiology laboratory.

The advanced microbiology laboratory at ADMIXTIO offers the following core services:

Consultingand Training

Standard tests

CustomizedtestsOur team will design together

with you the trials which are most convenient for the type

of application or claim you need.

We can perform standard tests concerning preservation

and disinfection in accordance with the latest

regulations.

We provide training in applied microbiology at

ADMIXTIO or at your premises.

We provide clear answers and solutions with regards to about

the preservation of your products and the corresponding

regulations.

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)

• We determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (the lowest concentration of active which does not allow microbial growth) with the strains which are relevant to each specific application, as a method of characterization of antimicrobial properties of actives.

Study of the kinetics of the antimicrobial activity

• We can study the kinetics of the antimicrobial activity of your active at each dosage by inoculating the strains of interest, comparing with traditional actives relevant to each application.

Preservation of cosmetic formulations

• We select the preservative system that best suits the requirements of your formulation. We are equipped to perform at ADMIXTIO all sorts of preservative efficacy testing, such as the preservation challenge test (ISO 11930:2012).

• We perform microbiological controls of raw materials and finished personal care products.

Anti-microbial activity of ingredients and formulations

• We can determine the capacity to inhibit microbial growth of oils, extracts and tinctures.

• We perform “in-vitro” efficacy testing with relevant micro-organisms to determine anti-dandruff, anti-acne, deodorant or sanitizing activities of active ingredients and formulations.

Preservation of Oral Care Formulations

• We select the most appropriate system to preserve your formulations and evaluate its performance by preservation challenge test.

• We perform microbiological tests of raw materials and oral care products.

Anti-microbial activity of ingredients and formulations

• We determine the "in vitro" anti-plaque activity of ingredients and oral care products by monitoring microorganisms typical of flora.

• We evaluate the kinetics of action of mouthwashes against specific microorganisms typical of the oral flora.

Disinfecting ability of ingredients and formulations

• We perform methods of "screening" in order to determine quickly and easily the disinfecting ability of actives and formulas, helping in the selection of the most effective ones.

• We propose special tests in order to demonstrate disinfecting effects under specific conditions.

• We perform standardized methods of characterization of the activity of disinfectants (EN 1040 , EN 1275, EN 1276, EN 1650, EN 13697, etc...)

Detection and count of pathogens and other microorganisms

• Count of microorganisms in food products (dairy, meat & poultry, RTE food, canned food, beverages…).

• Determination of presence/absence of pathogens.

• Analysis of water.

• Analysis of manufacturing environment.

Shelf life studies

• We perform the tests and statistical treatments necessary toestimate the shelf life of food & beverages, in usual and accelerated storage conditions.

Our microbiologists are highly skilled and experienced. Therefore, besides performing standard microbiology tests, we can also offer our expertise reach results in a practical and focused way.

In the case of microbiological contamination of your facilities or processes, we perform a complete audit to determine the cause and propose a solution.

We offer our customers the possibility to perform tests tailored to their needs, faster and cheaper than with standard tests.
