Determine product composition through reverse engineering services

What is reverse-engineering ?

The FILAB laboratory performs Reverse Engineering analysis. Reverse Engineering is a method of determining the chemical composition of a complex mixture by means of various chimical analysis.

Reverse engineering enables us to gain a better understanding of a material, its structural problems and its failures. The aim is to improve a material’s performance or better target a new supplier.

The key to successful Reverse Engineering lies in a thorough understanding of the target application and the use of rigorous analytical methods to characterize the composition of organic and inorganic fractions.

Which matrices are concerned by reverse engineering services?

reverse engineering

Our reverse engineering services cover a wide range of matrices: aqueous solutions, powders, polymers, ceramics, metallic materials

Reverse engineering applications ?

  • Pharmaceutical : analysis of a drug’s composition to identify its formulation and excipients.
  • Cosmetics : identification of active ingredients and additives present in a product.
  • Materials : study of the composition of polymers, ceramics or composites to optimize their properties.
  • R&D : inspiration from existing products to create improved formulations.

The FILAB laboratory supports manufacturers in Reverse Engineering services
