Pharmaceutical Research & Formulation Laboratory

Where compounds
become care.

Ray Chemists develops, tests, and refines pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and herbal formulations — then carries that science into training rooms, consulting engagements, and the retail counter.

Research & Formulation Science

LAB DIVISION
PRE-FORMULATION → SCALE-UP

From an active ingredient to a stable, manufacturable dosage form. Our bench work covers the full formulation lifecycle, grounded in pharmaceutics and analytical rigor.

  • Pre-formulation studies

    Solubility, compatibility, and physicochemical profiling of new actives before formulation begins.

  • Dosage form development

    Tablets, capsules, suspensions, creams, ointments, and topical gels built for stability and bioavailability.

  • Stability & analytical testing

    Accelerated and long-term stability programmes, alongside analytical method development and validation.

  • Scale-up support

    Bridging lab-scale formulas to pilot and production batches without loss of product performance.

Cosmetic & Cosmeceutical Development

LAB DIVISION
SKIN · HAIR · BODY CARE

Formula design

Skin and hair care formulations built around active efficacy, sensory feel, and shelf stability.

Safety & efficacy testing

Preservative efficacy, patch testing coordination, and claim-support evaluation before launch.

Natural actives sourcing

Ingredient sourcing and characterisation for cosmeceutical products with plant-derived actives.

FORMULATION NO. RC-033

Herbal Formulations

LAB DIVISION
PHYTOSCIENCE

Traditional plant knowledge, held to modern pharmaceutical standards. We work at the point where herbal practice and formulation science meet.

  • Phytochemical extraction

    Extraction and characterisation of plant-derived compounds for formulation use.

  • Standardization of extracts

    Establishing consistent potency and quality markers across herbal raw material batches.

  • Traditional-to-modern reformulation

    Converting traditional preparations into stable, dosage-controlled modern formats.

  • Herb–drug interaction screening

    Reviewing herbal formulations for known interactions with conventional medicines.

FORMULATION NO. RC-077

Industry Troubleshooting

DIAGNOSTIC DIVISION
ROOT CAUSE · CORRECTIVE ACTION

When a formulation fails, a batch deviates, or a product draws complaints — we investigate the cause and work through to a corrective fix.

  • Batch failure investigation

    Root cause analysis for out-of-specification batches and production deviations.

  • Stability failure diagnostics

    Identifying the source of stability or degradation issues in existing products.

  • Scale-up problem solving

    Resolving performance gaps that appear when moving from lab to production scale.

  • Complaint investigation

    Working from field complaints back to formulation or process cause, with corrective action plans.

Documented process, from bench to counter.

Every engagement — lab, training, or consultancy — follows a recorded, traceable process, the same discipline we apply to our own formulations.
