Shelf life testing
Knowledge is power; we offer different simulations and assays you can add to your shelf life study for more robust data points.

Evaluate real-time aging via analytical testing and a sensory panel to establish an expiration date for a product or product packaging.
Study length: 6 months - 12 months
This simulations real-time aging and shelf life by using elevated temperatures to artificially speed up the aging process. Accelerated aging is an optional requirement for testing, but real-time aging is required when establishing an expiration date for a product or product packaging.
Study length: 6 months - 12 months
Our 30 custom stability chambers can simulate the temperature and humidity of many global climates providing you with invaluable data.
Determine the effect of transit time during the warm summer on your product. Gather valuable product appearance and melt point data using our transit abuse simulation.
Take full advantage of our moisture isotherm models to determine if your product will get too dry or wet due to the packaging materials.
Use our shelf life moisture modeling tool to determine what packaging to use for varying climates across the globe
Anywhere from 4-24 months. It depends on your product and target shelf life.
With existing understanding of precise acceleration rates for your specific product, accelerated only testing is possible. Without that historical data, it is strongly recommended to run accelerated and non-accelerated testing in parallel to determine that rate.
This can vary greatly depending on the length, product, and testing. A good starting range is $3k-7k.
We can run micro tests at time points in the study, but do not currently run challenge studies which is required to determine micro limited shelf life.
Our group of trained panelists compare the aged product to the control sample and evaluate it for flavor, odor, texture, and appearance changes.
