From unknown sample to validated data and production-ready formulation.

We combine formulation R&D with a full analytical chemistry platform: NMR, high-resolution MS, LC-MS, GC-MS and HPLC. One team takes your project from identification and method development through to a product that runs on a plant line.

Services

Two practices. One project lead.

Most problems need both. A reverse-engineering job needs structural identification; a new method needs someone who understands the product matrix. You get a single point of contact and a single report.

About

Applied science for manufacturers

UMVESH INNOVATIONS is an R&D and technical consulting firm. We solve product, formulation and analytical problems for companies that need a result they can use in production.

The founder trained at CSIR-CFTRI and has worked across food formulation, lipid chemistry, analytical method development and industrial lubricants. That mix is why our formulation work is grounded in analytical data, and our analytical reports end in a practical recommendation.

We also run an import and export desk for industrial chemicals, laboratory chemicals and laboratory instruments.
