Testing trials for contract lab partnerships – webinar

Supplement brands must identify and quantify active compounds in their products to ensure they are safe, effective and legal; however, many brands do not have the expertise or equipment in-house to appropriately tests their ingredients and products. Thousands of different compounds are on the marketplace today, leading brands with many questions regarding testing lab partners. Choosing the right lab partners is critical to a successful operation. The session will explore:

• How to choose the right lab and how often a lab should be audited
• How to ensure tests are fit for purpose and what standards should be used, 
• COVID-19-related factors of increased demand, limited supply and a scaled-back FDA inspection program.
