HEAVY METAL TESTING
Superior heavy metal testing. Our inorganic chemists have developed unmatched techniques for heavy metal analysis on nutritional ingredients and finished products. Third party validation has demonstrated the high accuracy and consistency in this group’s quality testing.
HPLC/UPLC MS
We provide both HPLC and UPLC testing on raw materials and finished products. We handle everything from vitamins, standardized botanical extracts, amino acid, and other specialty items. Our methodology is based on compendial methods when available or developed in-house standardized and controlled.
IDENTIFICATIONS
Our HPTLC of over 300 botanical products provides customers a powerful tool to accurately identify supplier issues with botanical adulteration or misidentifications. We offer FTIR, using a large library of compounds we can rapidly qualify pure materials and finished formulas.
MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Our expertise in microbial testing goes back to 2000. We have been perfecting our products and the organisms that routinely inhabit these materials. Our methods discern aerobic, anaerobic bacteria, yeast, mold, coliforms, enterobacteracea, E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and others upon request.
MINERAL ANALYSIS
Like the heavy metal analysis the mineral chemists are phenomenal at handling a variety of matrices and mineral compositions always achieving high accuracy and reproducibility.
MICROBIAL EXAMINATION
Products routinely tested include raw materials, finished supplements, cosmetics, and functional foods. Microscopy and staining techniques are available when further characterization is needed.
COMPLEX MATRICES
Samples with multiple analytes are routinely and successfully tested.
GENETIC IDENTIFICATION
We now have the latest technology in genetic PCR ID and sequencing. These tools allow for full identification of pathogens or probiotics giving clients the ultimate quality living materials.
