Laboratory Compliance & Quality Control
At Phytospec Botanicals, we uphold rigorous standards for purity, safety, and traceability. Every batch undergoes comprehensive third-party testing to comply with international regulatory frameworks.
Our Analytical & Quality Control Protocols
We analyze raw materials and finished botanical products using advanced testing methods to guarantee botanical purity and safety.
1. Identity Verification & Species Authentication
Utilizing High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and macro/microscopic analysis, we verify exact botanical species identity and check against adulterants.
2. Heavy Metal & Contaminant Screening
All raw ingredients are tested via ICP-MS for heavy metals including Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Arsenic (As), and Mercury (Hg) to ensure strict adherence to FDA and international guidelines.
3. Microbiological Safety & Purity
We conduct quantitative microbial analysis to ensure freedom from pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, yeast, mold, and total aerobic microbial counts (TAMC).
4. Pesticide Residue & Solvent Analysis
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) screening detects synthetic pesticide residues, herbicides, and residual extraction solvents.
