AMA LABS Does New Studies for the Following Areas
Nails
The properties of nails can be measured by various methods. Hardness can be determined via penetrometer studies. Relative density measurements are performed photo-optically. Even flexibility can be determined by an exclusive modification to the Diastron Rheometer designed at AMA. Thickness measurements can be established microscopically using an optical micrometer. Additionally, there are other properties of nails, and nail care products such as porosity, brittleness, adhesion, color persistence, durability, general growth and re-application rates that may be determined under AMA testing protocols.
Cosmetics
AMA Laboratories provides extensive methodologies for the evaluation of cosmetic products, under both laboratory and actual consumer use applications. Color is one of the most important aspects of our evaluations. We can conduct a complete color analysis employing the Minolta Color Computer (Chroma Meter) and a full range of color charts to compare and match the visual with instrumental color characteristics. Additionally, we evaluate sensory and tactile aspects of cosmetic products with regard to texture, ease of application, substantivity, feel on the skin, and duration of action.
Antiperspirant Study
AMA Laboratories offers clients a number of special on-premises facilities in addition to the clinical laboratories. These include two fully functional high temperature and humidity chambers for conducting large panel antiperspirant studies.
