Formulation science paves the way for new and improved products
Our client asked:
Sagentia Innovation’s client identified a natural insecticide that is safe for humans and environmentally friendly. It is also chemically unstable, making it challenging to deliver in a format that provides long-lasting protection.
The project story:
- The conditions under which the insecticide degrades
- The mechanism for the degradation and its kinetics
- Possible formulations for reducing the rate of degradation
- This included developing analytical methods (for HPLC-UV, HPLC-MS, GC-EDS), data analysis methods and a mathematical model of delivery rates
Results: deliverables and outcomes
- Rapid (four months) analysis of an issue that is key to a major new product
- Elucidation of the fundamental science which leads to specific formulation solutions and a faster means of improving related formulations
