Delivered in accordance with internationally recognised guidelines (including OECD and CIPAC methods), our studies support product characterisation, quality control, and regulatory submissions.

Eurofins Agroscience Services Austalia supports physical testing requirements for a wide range of formulation types, including:

• Suspension concentrates (SC)
• Soluble concentrates (SL)
• Emulsifiable concentrates (EC)
• Water-dispersible granules (WG)
• Water-soluble granules (SG)
• Wettable powders (WP)
• Capsule suspensions (CS)
• Oil dispersions (OD)
• Suspo-emulsions (SE)
• Emulsions (EW, ES, ME)
• Seed treatment formulations (FS, LS, DS, WS, SS)
• Granules and tablets
• Ready-to-use liquid formulations
• Baits, aerosols and public health products

Depending on formulation type, we can assess:

• Density of solids and liquids 
• pH (OECD 122, CIPAC MT 75.3)
• Physical state, colour and odour
• Water content
• Particle size distribution (CIPAC MT 170)
• Acidity, alkalinity if pH is < 4 or >9 (OECD 122 / CIPAC MT 191)
• Viscosity (OECD 114 / CIPAC MT 192)
• Tap density / bulk density (CIPAC MT 186)
• Wettability (CIPAC MT 53.3)
• Persistent foaming (CIPAC MT 47.3)
• Dispersibility of WG (CIPAC MT 174)
• Suspensibility (CIPAC MT 184.1)
• Spontaneity of dispersion (CIPAC MT 160.1)
• Wet sieve test (CIPAC MT 185.1)
• Dustiness (CIPAC MT 171)
• Friability and attrition characteristics (CIPAC MT 178)
• Friability of tablets (CIPAC MT 193)
• Emulsion stability (CIPAC MT 36.3 or MT 173)
• Flowability of WG after heat test under pressure (CIPAC MT 172)
• Pourability (CIPAC MT 148.2)
• Low temperature stability (CIPAC MT 39.3)
• Dilution stability of herbicide aqueous solution (CIPAC MT 41)
• Degree of dissolution and solution stability (CIPAC MT 179)
• Dispersion stability (CIPAC MT 180)
• Dissolution of water-soluble bags (CIPAC MT 176)
