FAQ

Q1: How does MtoZ Biolabs manage sample traceability and prevent cross-contamination during testing?

Each sample received is assigned a unique identification code upon arrival. All handling, preparation, and analysis steps are performed in controlled environments with dedicated equipment and validated cleaning procedures. This traceability system ensures data integrity and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, even when processing complex cosmetic formulations containing volatile or reactive compounds.

Q2: Can MtoZ Biolabs evaluate the photostability or oxidative sensitivity of cosmetic ingredients beyond standard stability testing?

Yes. In addition to conventional thermal and humidity testing, MtoZ Biolabs offers specialized photostability and oxidative degradation studies using controlled UV exposure and oxygen-enriched conditions. These tests help predict real-world product performance under sunlight and air exposure, supporting formulation optimization for enhanced product durability.

Q3: Can MtoZ Biolabs analyze products containing both synthetic and natural ingredients?

Absolutely. Many modern cosmetic formulations combine botanical extracts with synthetic actives or stabilizers. MtoZ Biolabs employs hybrid analytical approaches, combining chromatographic separation, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and spectral fingerprinting, to accurately distinguish and quantify each component, including trace-level bioactive molecules or potential adulterants.

Q4: How does MtoZ Biolabs ensure data confidentiality for proprietary formulations?

MtoZ Biolabs enforces strict confidentiality protocols, including secure data storage, controlled laboratory access, and non-disclosure agreements with all project stakeholders. Analytical data and reports are encrypted and shared exclusively with authorized personnel designated by the client, ensuring full protection of intellectual property and formulation details.
