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.

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.
