Questions we get asked
Do you test raw herbs as well as finished products?
Yes. Raw drug authentication, ash values, extractives and contamination screening on the crude drug, and full pharmacopoeial testing on the finished formulation.
Which panel does an AYUSH export need?
Usually heavy metals, pesticide residues, aflatoxins and microbial limits with the pharmacopoeial identity work. We confirm against your destination market.
Can you authenticate a crude drug with no label?
Macroscopic and microscopic examination with HPTLC fingerprinting will usually confirm or rule out the claimed species.
Why do heavy metals appear in a clean formulation?
Almost always from the raw herb or the soil it grew in. Screening incoming material is cheaper than reworking a finished batch.
Do bhasma and rasa preparations need a different panel?
Yes. Metal-based preparations are tested against their own pharmacopoeial specifications rather than the general heavy metal limits.
