Other techniques are sometimes needed to deformulate very complex products.
If less than 5 simple components are present, our minimum fee of $700.00 generally will apply.   For 5 or more components, the fees will depend on the number and complexity of components.   For very complex mixtures or herbal products, the amount of analytical work required will be considerably greater.
Please call Mr. Carlos Lopetegui, Ms. Galina Tuninskaya, or Dr. Burch Stewart. 1 (800) 371-5854
