Two different water testing procedures are used on food products, dietary supplements, and cosmetics to provide a complete picture. These two tests are water activity (aw) measurement and moisture content testing.
To meet your product’s legal requirements for quality, stability, and packaging, turn to CTLA for all your moisture content testing needs. We conduct moisture content testing for food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and even soil samples using accelerated OHAUS laboratory equipment.
Laboratory testing is a necessary expense that protects public safety. However, conducting unnecessary tests adds costs to the final product. Knowing a product’s aw helps owners determine the appropriate laboratory tests and testing frequency for their product. Products with lower aw can space out or reduce the frequency of microorganism testing.
CTLA is an FDA-registered laboratory. We offer full-service safety and identity testing for food,dietary supplements, and cosmetic products. In addition, CTLA performs testing for manufacturers with third-party Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Certification.
