Method Development


Are you developing a new product and need tests to characterize it? Are existing test methods no longer working for you? We can develop and validate test methodologies to help you measure desired physical, chemical or elemental components or other properties of your materials.  

With Dow Corning Analytical Solutions you gain access to an analytical laboratory that has the capabilities to:

  • Develop test methods for measuring silicon(e) or other components in materials
  • Modify existing test methods to meet new needs
  • Provide procedures for conducting testing
  • Train your laboratory personnel or conduct testing for you
  • Validate test methods

Benefits

  • Decrease commercialization time – expertise in timely development of quality methods
  • Reduce your costs - no equipment investment
  • Options - we can do testing for you or train your organization

Silicones pose unique and difficult challenges for test method development. Our expertise in developing analytical methods for silicone testing is unique, proven and substantially more diverse than contract laboratories. Our experience extends into other areas of organic and inorganic chemistry across many industries.

Case Study - Measuring Silicone Concentration in Lip Balm
A pharmaceutical company was formulating a new lip balm with silicone as an active ingredient and needed an assay developed to determine silicone content. The method also needed to be validated using Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) protocol for FDA approval. Dow Corning Analytical Solutions were able to develop and validate a gas chromatography functionality method to quantify silicone in their complex sample matrix. This test method was later transferred to our customer's testing laboratory.

Please contact us by e-mail or call one of our global locations to discuss your specific testing needs.
