Quality control

Quality Control is at the heart of the philosophy at Bio-Botanica. Each and every product is subjected to a number of rigorous quality control tests everyday. Products that we manufacture must match specifications such as refraction, melting point, pH, specific gravity, density and water levels.

Bio-Botanica incorporates highly sophisticated and analytical equipment such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Infrared Spectrometer (IR), Ultra Violet Spectrometer (UV), Gas Chromatography and Total Organic Carbon Analyzer. (TOC).

TOC allows us to check our water for any contamination, chemical or microbiological down to parts per billion. This ensures that the water we use in production is pure and free of any undesirable contaminants. TOC is the only FDA recognized method for United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) Grade water testing.

Finally, the QC Department has a fully equipped Microbiological-testing laboratory, which follows the appropriate testing methods as defined by the U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP). The microbiological laboratory is used to fully test all botanical extracts for any micro-activity. This guarantees a botanical extract free of any unwanted and potentially unhealthy micro organisms.
