Associated Testing Services, Instruments & Techniques
Below are just some of the testing services we offer and the tools we use to get you the results you need.
Comprehensive Testing Solutions
We offer a wide range of testing services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. From ingredient verification and purity testing to microbiological analysis and stability testing, our comprehensive solutions cover all aspects of supplement quality assessment. We also offer a wide range of services to help distributors utilizing Amazon Marketplace to ensure their products meet Amazon compliance requirements including ingredient verification and adulterant testing.
Advanced Facilities and Quality Control
Equipped with cutting-edge technology and advanced analytical and microbial instrumentation, our laboratory is designed to deliver precise and reliable results. We adhere to strict quality control standards, including the ISO 17025 standard and follow validated methods from USP, AOAC, FDA and other organizations, to ensure the accuracy and integrity of your results. When published validated methods are not available, we utilize in-house methodologies validated through AOAC, FDA and USP guidelines.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
This powerful instrument enables us to analyze the composition and concentration of active ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, flavonoids, and other pharmaceutical active ingredients in your supplements. By accurately measuring these components, we ensure that your products meet the specified potency levels in the final product or of raw ingredients.
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
With GC-MS, we identify and quantify various compounds, including active ingredients such as fatty acids in fish oils (DHEA and EPA) and other ingredients as well as contaminants such as residual solvents. GC-MS can further be used in possibly identifying unknown compounds through extensive NIST Mass Spectral Library searches.
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)
LC-MS allows us to screen complex matrices for adulterants and contaminants such as pesticides and toxins. It allows us to identify and quantify active ingredients when other traditional methods such as HPLC are not sensitive or specific enough to detect. Such active ingredients include fat soluble vitamins (vitamins K, Vitamin D and Vitamin A), water soluble vitamins (biotin, folic acid, vitamin B12), amino acids, flavonoids, ergothioneine, choline and more.
Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
ICP-MS is used to detect and quantify trace elements and in supplements. By conducting rigorous analysis, we ensure that your products comply with regulatory limits, minimizing the risk of contamination. ICP-MS can further be used for the quantification of minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron, etc., in your formulated supplement product.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
This powerful instrument enables us to analyze the composition and concentration of active ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, flavonoids, and other pharmaceutical active ingredients in your supplements. By accurately measuring these components, we ensure that your products meet the specified potency levels in the final product or of raw ingredients.
Microbiological Testing
Our lab is equipped with advanced equipment for microbial testing, including spiral plating instruments, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) machines, and automated colony counters. We offer both molecular and traditional plating techniques for supplements samples including USP 2021/2022 and AOAC validated qPCR methods. These tools enable us to detect and identify harmful microorganisms, ensuring the safety of your supplements.
