Quick Answer
Botanical Testing for quality control ensures products meet the specific regulatory and quality standards required for market entry. ISO 17025 accredited laboratories like Qalitex provide validated testing methods, detailed COA reports, and expert guidance to support quality control processes efficiently.
FDA Recalls Botanical Supplement Over Undeclared Drug Ingredient
The FDA issued a Class II recall for a popular botanical blend after lab testing detected an undeclared pharmaceutical compound — sildenafil — reinforcing the need for comprehensive botanical identity and adulterant screening.
Achieving quality control requires accurate, accredited laboratory testing that regulatory bodies and marketplace platforms trust. Qalitex Laboratories provides botanical testing tailored for quality control requirements. 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. Our ISO 17025 accredited methods and detailed COA reports are designed to streamline your quality control process.
How Botanical Testing Supports Quality control
Quality control requires documented evidence of product safety and quality. Qalitex provides the specific testing and documentation needed to support your quality control process, including detailed COA reports, method validation documentation, and expert consultation on testing scope. Our ISO 17025 accreditation ensures your results are accepted by regulatory bodies and marketplace platforms.
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.
