Plate VIII — Quality
Quality protocol
Quality
Every batch that leaves our facility is tested against a written specification — identity, assay, heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbiology and residual solvents — before it is released. Testing is performed in-house and verified by NABL-accredited third-party laboratories. Nothing ships on assumption; everything ships with its record.
Plate IX — Regime
The testing regime
- Identity
- HPTLC / HPLC
- Assay
- HPLC / UV, per specification
- Heavy metals
- ICP-MS — Pb, As, Cd, Hg
- Pesticide residues
- GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, per EU / USP limits
- Microbiology
- TPC, yeast & mould, E. coli, Salmonella
- Residual solvents
- GC-HS, ICH Q3C
- Moisture / LOD
- Per specification
- Particle size
- Mesh, per specification
Specifications are agreed in writing before production. The certificate of analysis reports against that specification, not a generic one.
Plate X — Certificates

Where a certificate is held by the production facility rather than by us, the card says so.
