Can anyone recommend a lab that can take a liquid and analyse it so we can improve the formula?

I’ve seen several in China but prefer Uk

Have a chat with these guys, if they can’t I’m sure they’ll advise who can:

I’d never do anything people ingest, can’t be an accidental poisoners assistant.
I’m looking at stuff to reverse engineer.

This makes me think of the 2000's capacitor plague.

Whilst its very easy to analyse a substance, being able to recreate it is a totally different game depending on what it is.

I spent many years working in a laboratory and then in R&D.

There is as much intellectual property in the process as in the ingredients, so knowing what’s in it may not really give you the final product.

Thanks chaps, it’s a cleaning fluid with one ingredient that makes it really good - I’m looking for that key ingredient.

Guess it's nothing too clever or it'd be on the MSDS.

Is it just one ingredient or one ingredient declared on the MSDS?
