Biostimulant Concentrates

10 to 50% of concentrate, where free amino acid content is the label claim

Overview

What This Method Covers

In a biostimulant concentrate the amino acid powder is not a minor additive: inclusion runs from 10 to 30% of finished concentrate for Amino Acids 45 and 20 to 50% for Amino Acids 80. At those levels the free amino acid figure is effectively the product claim, which is why the Eurofins reports matter more here than anywhere else in the range.

The Method

Step By Step

  1. Choose the grade by what goes on the label

    Amino Acids 80 is verified at 75.37% free amino acids and Amino Acids 45 at 41.93%, both by Eurofins under GB/T 18246-2019.

  2. Work out the active per litre

    At high inclusion the difference between grades shows up as freight and packaging cost per unit of active, not just as price per ton.

  3. Check the pH window

    The amino acid grades sit at pH 4 to 6 in 1% solution, which has to be reconciled with the rest of the concentrate.

  4. Sample before committing

    Free 200 to 500 g samples ship with their own batch COA for formulation testing.

  5. Keep the documentation chain

    Ask for TDS and SDS with the sample so the registration file is started before the commercial order.

FAQ

Questions About This Method

What do you need from us to recommend a rate?

The application, the target active content, the batch size and the other components of the formulation.

Which grade is normally specified for this method?

Amino Acids 80 is the usual starting point. Amino Acids 80 is verified at 75.37% free amino acids and Amino Acids 45 at 41.93%, both by Eurofins under GB/T 18246-2019.

Does the powder dissolve fully in this method?

Water solubility is specified at 100% for the amino acid grades and 99% for Protein Powder, so nothing is left in tanks, drip lines or dosing equipment.

Can we sample before committing?

Yes. Free samples of 200 to 500 g ship with their own batch COA for formulation testing.

What is the lead time for a commercial order?

30 days for regular orders, FOB Shanghai or Qingdao.
