In the world of dietary supplements, product performance is everything. Whether you're formulating a multivitamin, botanical extract, or specialty capsule, it's essential that your product delivers its active ingredients effectively and consistently. That's where disintegration and dissolution testing come in.
At Alfa Chemistry, we specialize in providing precise, reliable, and regulatory-compliant testing services that ensure your supplement works as intended—helping you build consumer trust and meet global quality standards.
Our Services
Disintegration and dissolution testing are fundamental quality control measures used to evaluate how supplements behave once consumed. These tests simulate physiological conditions to confirm whether active ingredients are released efficiently and consistently.
We test a wide variety of supplement dosage forms:
- Tablets (coated, uncoated, chewable, effervescent)
- Hard and soft gelatin capsules
- Fast-dissolving oral formats
- Botanical and herbal blends
- Custom nutraceutical formulations
Every formulation is unique, especially those using plant-based, multi-component, or controlled-release actives. Our scientists develop customized testing protocols based on your product's specific characteristics to ensure accurate and relevant results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dissolution testing?
Dissolution testing measures how quickly and to what extent the active ingredient is released from a dosage form into a liquid medium. It shows how effectively a supplement delivers its intended benefits once ingested.
What is disintegration testing?
Disintegration testing assesses how long it takes for a tablet or capsule to break down into smaller fragments under controlled conditions. It's a key indicator of ingredient release behavior in the body.
Why are dissolution and disintegration testing important?
These tests confirm product performance, support regulatory compliance, and ensure consistency across production batches—critical for maintaining quality and consumer confidence.
Do you follow pharmacopeial standards for testing?
Yes. Our testing methods comply with major international standards, including USP <701>, <711>, <2040>, the European Pharmacopoeia, and Health Canada's natural health product guidelines.
Can you develop customized testing protocols?
Absolutely. We design and validate bespoke testing methods for innovative or complex formulations, helping ensure both precision and regulatory acceptability.
