Agrochemicals & Pesticides
Agrochemicals and pesticides are essential inputs for modern agriculture, enabling crop protection, yield stability, and post-harvest quality. These products are widely used across row crops, fruits and vegetables, seed treatment, turf & ornamental, greenhouse production, and selected public health applications.
We provide analytical testing and materials characterization for technical-grade actives, intermediates, and formulated products, supporting R&D development, manufacturing control, QC release, and regulatory-ready documentation. Our multi-technique approach helps teams verify composition, control impurities, evaluate stability, and resolve performance differences with clear, decision-ready reporting.
Why Agrochemical Testing Matters
Agrochemical products often face high-impact challenges that require fast, reliable analytical answers:
Batch-to-batch variation affecting active content and product performance
Unexpected impurities causing off-spec results or regulatory risk
Odor, discoloration, precipitation, caking, or phase separation during storage
Residual solvents/VOCs impacting safety, packaging compatibility, or customer acceptance
Metal/inorganic contamination accelerating degradation or catalyzing side reactions
Raw material or supplier changes shifting formulation behavior
Need for third-party data to support audits, customer claims, or supplier qualification
FAQs
Can you reverse-engineer the full formulation?
We can often identify major components and explain differences, but complete formulation reconstruction is not always feasible—especially for complex additive systems—without standards and multiple complementary methods.
Do I need a reference/control sample?
Strongly recommended. Side-by-side comparison is one of the most powerful ways to pinpoint true differences and avoid false leads.
Can you quantify impurities at very low levels?
It depends on the impurity, matrix, and required limits. For ultra-trace needs, we may recommend targeted methods and calibration strategies (standards, recovery checks).
What if my matrix is very complex (surfactants, oils, salts)?
We routinely handle complex formulations. We select methods to reduce interference and may use fractionation or orthogonal techniques for confident identification.
Can you identify the cause of odor?
We can identify and compare volatile profiles (HS-GC/MS) and highlight likely contributors. For full odor-impact correlation, additional targeted approaches may be suggested depending on the situation.
Do you support stability or aging studies?
Yes—thermal screening and comparative stability analysis are common. We can also support investigation of storage-induced changes (discoloration, precipitation, degradation).
