We are currently working with a global food and beverage company, who is looking to identify equipment, processes and methodologies which enable rapid, validated shelf-life testing methods.
Scope
This brief is seeking to improve the speed to market of a range of food and beverage products, that are sensitive to time, light and temperature. The products are long shelf life and product failures are related to quality rather than safety. Our client is looking to invest in the ‘best in class’ technology and supported by the latest techniques and methodologies.
The primary needs are:
- Details of suitable equipment for Shelf-Life Testing.
- Validated methods.
- Point of difference to other available equipment.
Processes and technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7+ will be prioritised. However, those that can achieve TRL 9 within a 2-year horizon will be considered.
Shelf-Life Testing Responses
All solutions must be submitted to Technology Scout ([email protected]), with a subject line ACTION ref: B17/129/1 Accelerated shelf-life testing detailing:
- A summary of the process or technology
- Any technical or application limitations
- Commercial availability
- Summary of validation in food and drink application
- Contact details

Good afternoon. The link to this ‘action call’ was passed to me by Lauren Rogers (a mutual contact with Steve Osborn?).
I would like to draw your attention to the DataPhysics MS20 system.

When compared with more traditional shelf-life testing methods; accelerated processes can be observed by elevating the temperature of the sample and tiny changes observed due to sensitivity of the measurement technique.
I am happy to share product literature / application information with you, on request.
