Customer story

Same-day rescue of a six-figure shipment

A large US probiotic manufacturer’s order of probiotic oils was mistakenly left on a shipping dock at high temperature. Before shipping to their own customers, they needed to confirm the lots still met quality and label specs. We received the samples that day, tested examples from every lot, and delivered Certificates of Analysis — confirming viability held, clearing the product for release, and saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory they feared was lost.
