Nicotine Product Testing
Accurate nicotine content testing is essential for product compliance, label-claim verification, and quality assurance across the nicotine products industry. New Wave Scientific is an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory located in Sparks, Nevada offering validated quantitative nicotine assay testing for a wide range of nicotine product formats, including pouches, oral nicotine products, vapes, e-liquids, powders, raw materials, and other nicotine-containing products. Whether you need batch release testing, formulation support, or regulatory-grade analytical data, our team is here to help. Nicotine Content, pH and Loss on drying are a few of the recent testing endpoints that were added. These methods utilize Coresta based methodology.
