Supplement and Herbal Extract Analysis

Our laboratory can analyze both vitamin and herbal supplements using FDA approved methodology. Using a combination of HPLC, UV-VIS, and ICP instrumental methods, the components can be separated, identified, and quantified. We have experience with single-component and multi-component vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements in capsule, tablet, or liquid form. We can also test vitamin, mineral, and herbal extract raw materials for identity, purity, and potency of the active components.
