R&D & Quality

From Formulation Brief to Validated Batch — in 4–6 Weeks

Your new premix is developed, stability-tested, and shipped with a regulatory dossier ready for FSSAI (Human Nutrition), BIS/AAFCO/FEDIAF (Animal Nutrition), EU, ASEAN, and UN agency submissions.

NutraX Biotech advanced analytical laboratory for premix quality testing

Our R&D Laboratory

Your New Product Ready for Market — with the Data to Prove It

Our in-house R&D laboratory turns your formulation brief into a commercial-ready premix — prototype batch, stability data, and a full regulatory documentation pack included. No third-party development lab to coordinate, no separate CoA supplier to chase. If a premix leaves this facility, it has been tested, validated, and documented at every stage, ready for your submission or your auditor.

R&D Capabilities

What Our R&D Lab Means for Your Product Launch

In-house analytical laboratory at NutraX Biotech — HPLC vitamin potency testing and ICP-MS heavy metal screening for premix quality assurance

Test Results Your Regulatory Team Can Submit

Vitamin potency by HPLC, heavy metal screening by ICP-MS, microbiological enumeration (TVC, yeast & mould, pathogens), moisture, particle size, and flow-rate characterisation. Every result is tied to a traceable batch record — ready for FSSAI (Human Nutrition), BIS/AAFCO/FEDIAF (Animal Nutrition), EU, ASEAN, or UN agency submissions.

NutraX Biotech premix formulation centre — custom micronutrient blend development for food, feed, and nutraceutical applications

Custom Formulas Built Around Your Market

Your formulation brief becomes a prototype batch in weeks — with full compatibility and interaction screening included, whether the target is a human food/nutraceutical vehicle or an animal feed ration. See the Human R&D and Animal R&D capability breakdown below for how nutrient stacking is calibrated for each.

ICH-aligned stability and shelf-life testing chambers at NutraX Biotech — accelerated premix degradation studies for vitamin and mineral actives

Shelf-Life Claims You Can Print on the Label

Accelerated (40 °C / 75% RH) and real-time ICH-aligned stability studies, with pull-point testing at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Re-test and expiry dates are assigned from actual degradation curves — not estimated. The full data package supports your regulatory submission and label claim.

Batch quality control and HPLC homogeneity verification at NutraX Biotech GMP-certified premix manufacturing facility — CoA issued for every lot

A CoA on Every Batch, Issued by an Accredited Lab

HPLC homogeneity verified across 10-point sampling, with heavy metal and microbiological safety screening on every lot. The Certificate of Analysis is issued by a NABL-accredited third-party laboratory — not an in-house document — so it carries weight with your customers and their auditors.

NutraX Biotech technical support specialists providing premix formulation guidance and regulatory documentation to feed mills and FMCG fortification clients

Technical Guidance at Every Stage of Your Production

Dosage and process integration advice for feed mills, FMCG fortification lines, and clinical manufacturers — before your first run and whenever you need it after. On-site start-up support and a complete regulatory documentation handover are included as standard, not an add-on.

R&D by Division

Formulation Science, Calibrated to Each Division

Our analytical and stability infrastructure is shared across the facility — the formulation science that runs on it is not. Each division's nutrient targets, reference standards, and regulatory pathway are distinct.

Human Nutrition

Human Nutrition R&D

Nutrient formulation stacked against FSSAI, Codex, and WHO reference intakes for food, clinical, and nutraceutical applications — validated for age-group and life-stage specific human requirements.

  • Regulatory dossiers built for FSSAI, EU Food Supplement, and ASEAN submissions
  • Clinical/FSMP formulation support aligned to ESPEN guidelines
  • WHO/UNICEF pre-qualification documentation for fortification & therapeutic foods
Animal Nutrition

Animal Nutrition R&D

Species-specific nutrient stacking for animal feed formulations — calibrated to species, production stage, and target performance outcomes across our animal nutrition portfolio.

  • Species- and age-group-specific premix formulation and dosage design
  • Feed-safety and interaction screening for feed mill integration
  • Technical guidance for feed mills on dosage and process integration

Both divisions share the same in-house analytical laboratory, ICH-aligned stability chambers, and NABL-accredited third-party CoA process — only the formulation targets and regulatory pathway differ.
