Botanical Supplement Testing Services
Herbal identification, authentication, potency, and contaminant testing for botanical supplements.
Botanical supplement testing authenticates herbal species using TLC, HPLC fingerprinting, and DNA barcoding, while quantifying active botanical markers and screening for contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, and pathogens in herbal raw materials and finished products.
Botanical supplements present unique testing challenges: identifying complex plant matrices, authenticating species, and screening for contamination from heavy metals, pesticides, and pathogens. Qalitex Laboratories has deep expertise in botanical testing, using TLC, HPLC, and DNA-based methods to verify your herbal products.
Botanical Identification & Authentication
We use thin-layer chromatography (TLC), HPLC fingerprinting, and DNA barcoding to authenticate botanical species and detect substitution or adulteration. Essential for brands claiming specific herbal species on labels (e.g., Panax ginseng vs. Siberian ginseng).
Contaminant Testing for Botanicals
Herbs and botanicals are particularly prone to heavy metal accumulation (from soil) and pesticide residues (from agricultural use). We provide comprehensive contaminant testing panels tailored for botanical raw materials and finished herbal products.
Potency Testing
We quantify active botanical markers (e.g., curcuminoids in turmeric, ginsenosides in ginseng, hypericin in St. John's Wort, flavonoids in elderberry) using validated HPLC methods, supporting label claim accuracy and efficacy.
