Would love to know what lab equipment one could have at home to do stability testing and microbial testing

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

I get asked this a lot and its a big topic, and since ensuring consumer safety and a good shelf life is essential to product quality and consumers, I'm trying to think of how I provide snippets on such a big topic in a 15 minute youtube video (its an entire unit of study with us)!!! My concern is a youtube video is no replacement on full training of this topic because of safety and quality issues, and while I can touch on the topic it really doesn't replace proper training and testing. Please email us for pricing on just the Stability unit - you can study just this one unit with us: [e-mail] to learn it properly. I hope this helps.

Hello Belinda, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am able to see the pH meter listed on the Hanna site in India and intend to purchase it. They have 2 options for the probe HI 1217D and HI 1230B, sadly there is no mention of the protected probe part that you have mentioned. Possible for you to confirm the model number of the probe that you are using?

Hello @@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 - my quest for the info on the probe seems to have hit a wall. I have some correspondence with your office with Hanna and I still don't have the information requested. All I am asking for is the model number of the probe, which is inscribed on the green part of the body of the probe. Could you please help me with it, so that I could place an order on the company here in India. Since I am taking your advice to purchase the tried and tested pH meter, I wouldn't want to go wrong with the probe. Thanks for your time and attention. :-)

Would the 0.001g balances you recommend for color be useful for essential oils measurement or would the 0.01g be sufficient.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Your water should be demineralised and sterilised - to prevent ions impacting your formulas or contamination. Hope this helps, happy formulating!

[@olgamorales8696]

Hi Belinda, first of all you are amazing!! My question is, do we have to mix the demineralized and distilled water or do they come raleady mixed? I have seen both kinds separatelly but not one thats demineralized and distilled at the same time. Unless I havent looked in the right departments. Thank you.

mam ..do the the homogenizer blade of ika instrument and dissolver blade are the same..or different.. i wasnt able to find homogenizer blade on ika website but same looking blade was called dissolver blade ..mam please tell the name of blade used for making foundations...thanks

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

The IKA blade is called a dissolver stirrer - this suits the Eurostar (Propeller stirrer machine) but the homogenising head only comes with the Ultra Turrax, which is why you need 2 if you want both. Please see this site for IKA blades: www.ika.com/en/Products-Lab-Eq/Overhead-Stirrers-Agitator-Blender-Lab-mixer-Accessories-cspacc-187/ To grind pigments when you make a foundation sample you need the homogenising head; or you could use phytic acid coated pigments to make them very water soluble, and then you only need the propeller stirrer.

[@MarianKeller]

Reverse osmosis should be fine, as long as you boil the water as a first step, since, like any other water treatment equipment, its very susceptible to microbial contamination. One unconventional tip: Just use aqua iniectabilia like for example Fresenius Kabi AMPUWA and use transfer spikes to take the precise amount of water out that you need. If you do medium-sized batches, there are also screw-top 1L bottles. It sure isn't too cheap, but the cost is negligible compared to all other ingredients in a product.
