Our in-house analytical laboratory is where a botanical becomes a specified, documented ingredient. HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, heavy-metal and microbiological testing sit under our own roof, so nothing ships without a Certificate of Analysis behind it.
A standardised-extract programme built around identity, potency and safety — the four questions every serious buyer asks of an ingredient.
Botanical and marker identity by HPLC fingerprint, TLC and organoleptic checks — confirming the extract is what the label says.
Active-marker quantification by HPLC and UV-Vis — curcuminoids, bacosides, sennosides, HCA, chlorogenic acid and more, to defined percentages.
Gas Chromatography (GC) headspace analysis for ethyl acetate, ethanol and other process solvents against pharmacopoeial limits.
Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury screening by AAS / ICP against food and pharmacopoeial specifications.
Total plate count, yeast & mould, and pathogen screening (E. coli, Salmonella) for every food- and supplement-grade lot.
Loss on drying, ash, pH, particle size, bulk density and solubility — the practical parameters formulators depend on.
Representative sampling of each batch under defined SOPs.
Fingerprint and organoleptic confirmation of the material.
Marker quantification by HPLC / UV against the target spec.
Residual solvents, heavy metals and microbiology screening.
QC review against specification — pass, hold or reject.
Certificate of Analysis issued; batch released for dispatch.
Ask for a representative Certificate of Analysis, a specification sheet or a product sample. We respond to qualified B2B enquiries within two working days.
