Custom Lab Services

Tailored Testing for Formulators, Innovators, and Complex Products

Flexible Testing and Method Development, Built Around Your Product

Not every product fits into a standardized testing panel, and not every lab is built to adapt. At Ayah Labs, we specialize in custom analytical services for clients developing novel ingredients, proprietary formulations, and unconventional delivery formats.

Whether you're building a cognitive-support gummy, prototyping a functional mist, or validating an exotic botanical, we’ll help you design a testing strategy that’s smart, compliant, and scalable.

Our ISO/IEC 17025–aligned processes allow us to offer both scientific rigor and creative flexibility, helping you move from concept to market with clarity.

Who We Support

Our custom services are designed for clients with products that challenge the norm, those who need tailored analysis, method development, or non-standard matrices tested with precision.

R&D Teams and Formulators

  • Ingredient compatibility and feasibility screening
  • Prototype formulation stability
  • Functional compound quantification and claim substantiation

Regulatory and QA Professionals

  • Custom method development and validation for novel actives
  • Documentation aligned to FDA, Health Canada, or international formats
  • Gap analysis and regulatory benchmarking for new ingredient categories

Product Innovators and Startups

  • Testing for unique delivery formats (e.g., sprays, emulsions, gummies, effervescent powders)
  • Help selecting relevant tests for early-stage or pilot batches
  • Budget-conscious testing roadmaps phased across R&D and pre-launch

What We Offer

We specialize in custom, science-forward services that help your product stand up to scrutiny and succeed on the shelf.

Custom Method Development

  • Analytical assay development for branded, rare, or complex ingredients
  • Full validation packages including precision, repeatability, recovery, LOQ/LOD
  • Matrix-adapted testing protocols for unique product formats

Non-Standard Ingredient Testing

  • Botanicals without monographs, novel amino compounds, synthetic actives
  • Branded nutraceuticals or cosmeceuticals requiring verification
  • Assay adjustment for unusual physical/chemical properties

Prototype and Stability Studies

  • Compatibility testing for ingredients and excipients
  • Accelerated and real-time stability tracking for capsules, liquids, powders, and emulsions
  • Visual, pH, odor, viscosity, and organoleptic change detection

Claim Substantiation Testing

  • Testing aligned to structure/function or “benefit” claims
  • Active verification (e.g., “supports focus,” “reduces oxidative stress”)
  • Early data generation to support investor decks or regulatory applications

R&D Testing Packages

  • Flexible scope to match early product development timelines
  • Consultation + custom test plan development
  • Ongoing iteration support as formulations evolve

Why Choose Ayah Labs for Custom Lab Testing

When you're innovating, the last thing you want is a rigid lab. We bring adaptability, technical depth, and a partner mindset to every project, no matter how non-traditional.

  • Method flexibility with scientific rigor — We combine advanced instrumentation with the ability to tweak or build new methods, ensuring your testing reflects the complexity of your product.
  • Transparent communication and test planning — We don’t leave you guessing. From kickoff to reporting, we walk you through every test selection, matrix challenge, and result interpretation.
  • Support for hard-to-categorize ingredients — We routinely test ingredients that don’t appear in pharmacopeias, from exotic plant extracts to functional actives in emerging health categories.
  • Documentation for claims, audits, and investor diligence — We format our reports to support regulatory filings, QA reviews, and even pitch decks, providing credibility to every claim you make.
  • Smart testing pathways for early-stage and scale-up — From MVP to full-market launch, we phase testing to fit your timeline and budget, without sacrificing data integrity.
