Analysis of products

structure - stability - morphology

Responsive and expert, NOVITOM is your preferred partner for accelerating the development of your products and formulations.

Knowledge of microstructure enables us to understand and better control the properties of pharmaceutical, cosmetic and agri-food products.

NOVITOM’s innovative techniques go beyond laboratory methods to reveal the internal microstructure of products with exceptional quality.

Our analyses of ingredients and products – texture and stability

  • XCT and micro-CT: 3D microstructures
  • XRD-WAXS: molecular organisations
  • SAXS: supramolecular organisations
  • SEM-FEG, AFM, profilometry: surface analyses
  • XRF and FT-IR: chemical imaging
  • In situ analyses and temporal monitoring via temperature, humidity or mechanical stress control

A support to product development and claims

  • 3D texture of products and monitoring under conditions of use (application, drying, etc.)
  • Relationship between microstructure and effectiveness
  • Product homogeneity
  • Phase segregation, particle size distribution, porosity
  • Measurement of crystallinity
  • Phase identification and crystal polymorphism
  • Stability of crystallised phases during manufacture or storage
