Testing Services
Forward Biotechnologies runs analytical, microbiological, and physical testing for biotech companies, medical device developers, laboratories, and researchers who need a testing partner rather than another in-house department. Whether you need one test run or an ongoing testing relationship, our team can scope it with you before you commit to anything.
Testing Capabilities
Gas Chromatography
We run gas chromatography (GC) testing to identify and quantify volatile and semi-volatile compounds in your sample. Commonly used for residual solvent analysis, purity checks, and composition verification.
Bioburden Testing
Bioburden testing measures the total number of viable microorganisms on or in a product, component, or raw material before sterilization. A standard step for medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers validating a sterilization process.
Endotoxin Testing
Endotoxin testing detects bacterial endotoxins that can trigger a pyrogenic response — relevant for any product intended for parenteral use or contact with the bloodstream.
- Thermogravimetric Analysis
TGA measures weight change in a material as it’s heated, useful for characterizing composition, thermal stability, and decomposition behavior.
- UV-Vis Spectrophotometry
Measures how a sample absorbs or transmits light across the ultraviolet and visible range — used for concentration determination, purity checks, and material identification.
- Bacterial Enumeration and Identification
We quantify and identify bacterial populations in a sample, supporting quality control, contamination investigations, and raw material qualification.
- Viscosity Testing
Measures a fluid’s resistance to flow, relevant for formulation work, quality control, and process troubleshooting.
- Force Testing
Evaluates mechanical performance — tension, compression, and related properties — for components, packaging, and finished products.
- pH Testing
Standard pH testing for solutions, raw materials, and in-process samples.
- Conductivity Testing
Measures a solution’s ability to conduct electrical current, often used as a quick check on purity or concentration.
- Electrochemical Testing
Supports material and product evaluation where corrosion behavior, coating performance, or electrochemical properties matter.
