ADMIXTIO wants to be your R&D partner. In this new presentation we want to introduce our advanced microbiology laboratory. We are able to perform standard tests, but also to design customized tests to reach the best results with your actives or formulations.

1. ADMIXTIO
Your R&D Partner

2. ADMIXTIO is a totally reliable partner, whose core values are the ​​personalized attention,
flexibility and rigor we apply to each of the projects we deal with.
ADMIXTIO can handle an entire R & D project or a particular step of it.
Basic R&D
• Determination of
possible applications
of new actives
•Formulation
development
•Regulations support
Testing
•Efficacy and security
testing
•Microbiology and
toxicology testing.
Communication
•Scientific support to
marketing claims
•Articles for peer
reviewed journals
and presentations
for congresses and
websites

3. The team at ADMIXTIO is
highly experienced in
theoretical and applied
microbiology, particularly fitting
the specific needs of the
producers of cosmetics, food
and beverages, and cleaning
and disinfecting products.
One of the key services at
ADMIXTIO is our
advanced microbiology
laboratory.

4. The advanced microbiology laboratory at ADMIXTIO offers the following core
services:
Consulting
and Training
Standard
tests
Customized
testsOur team will design together
with you the trials which are
most convenient for the type
of application or claim you
need.
We can perform standard
tests concerning preservation
and disinfection in
accordance with the latest
regulations.
We provide training in
applied microbiology at
ADMIXTIO or at your
premises.
We provide clear answers and
solutions with regards to about
the preservation of your
products and the corresponding
regulations.

5. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
• We determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (the lowest
concentration of active which does not allow microbial growth) with
the strains which are relevant to each specific application, as a
method of characterization of antimicrobial properties of actives.
Study of the kinetics of the antimicrobial activity
• We can study the kinetics of the antimicrobial activity of your active at
each dosage by inoculating the strains of interest, comparing with
traditional actives relevant to each application.

6. Preservation of cosmetic formulations
• We select the preservative system that best suits the requirements of
your formulation. We are equipped to perform at ADMIXTIO all sorts
of preservative efficacy testing, such as the preservation challenge test
(ISO 11930:2012).
• We perform microbiological controls of raw materials and finished
personal care products.
Anti-microbial activity of ingredients and formulations
• We can determine the capacity to inhibit microbial growth of oils,
extracts and tinctures.
• We perform “in-vitro” efficacy testing with relevant micro-organisms
to determine anti-dandruff, anti-acne, deodorant or sanitizing
activities of active ingredients and formulations.

7. Preservation of Oral Care Formulations
• We select the most appropriate system to preserve your
formulations and evaluate its performance by preservation
challenge test.
• We perform microbiological tests of raw materials and oral
care products.
Anti-microbial activity of ingredients and formulations
• We determine the "in vitro" anti-plaque activity of ingredients
and oral care products by monitoring microorganisms typical
of flora.
• We evaluate the kinetics of action of mouthwashes against
specific microorganisms typical of the oral flora.

8. Disinfecting ability of ingredients and formulations
• We perform methods of "screening" in order to determine
quickly and easily the disinfecting ability of actives and formulas,
helping in the selection of the most effective ones.
• We propose special tests in order to demonstrate disinfecting
effects under specific conditions.
• We perform standardized methods of characterization of the
activity of disinfectants (EN 1040 , EN 1275, EN 1276, EN 1650,
EN 13697, etc...)

9. Detection and count of pathogens and other microorganisms
• Count of microorganisms in food products (dairy, meat & poultry,
RTE food, canned food, beverages…).
• Determination of presence/absence of pathogens.
• Analysis of water.
• Analysis of manufacturing environment.
Shelf life studies
• We perform the tests and statistical treatments necessary to
estimate the shelf life of food & beverages, in usual and
accelerated storage conditions.

10. Our microbiologists are highly skilled and experienced. Therefore, besides performing
standard microbiology tests, we can also offer our expertise reach results in a practical
and focused way.
In the case of microbiological contamination of
your facilities or processes, we perform a complete
audit to determine the cause and propose a
solution.
We offer our customers the possibility to
perform tests tailored to their needs, faster
and cheaper than with standard tests.

11. WE PROVIDE SOLUTIONS FOR YOU
