Scienceuticals offering additional competitive advantages and cost-savings to its customers
June 4, 2009Products Reach Shelves Faster with New Microbiological Testing
SUMMERVILLE, SC – June 4, 2009 – Scienceuticals, Inc. has announced the addition of in-house microbiological testing for its contract manufactured personal care products in both its Summerville, SC, and Reno, NV facilities. By performing these tests on-site, the development cycle of Scienceuticals’ customers’ products is shortened by up to two weeks. Also, as a result of eliminating the cost of outsourcing these tests, customers will see a cost-savings.
“We have expanded our testing capabilities to better meet and exceed our customers’ needs,” said Donald Hayden, Founder and CEO of Scienceuticals. “Scienceuticals’ success is based on the speed of bringing quality products to market for our customers.”
The sooner the product has passed the testing, the quicker it is able to be packaged and shipped to the customer. In turn, customers are able to bring their products to the market faster and more efficiently. In addition to Scienceuticals’ current testing capabilities, including stability and compatibility, microbiological testing will expand the company’s productivity and increase customer satisfaction.
Microbiological testing is needed to ensure that microorganisms don’t grow and reproduce during the shelf life of the personal care products developed and manufactured by Scienceuticals. If organisms are allowed to replicate, they could cause spoilage, chemical changes, or even injury to the user of the product.
Scienceuticals is using 3MTM technology to conduct the microbiological testing, including 3M PetrifilmTM Plates. This AOAC® Official MethodSM yields Yeast and Mold and Total Aerobic plate counts. In addition to testing customers’ products, Scienceuticals also uses the setup to perform environmental testing on the production and batching equipment
