In today’s world, many people are turning towards plant-derived products to aid in various areas of their health including immune support, heart support, and even supplements to boost collagen and biotin levels for beauty. When creating a new non-specific biological therapy product, or nutraceutical, there are specific guidelines and testing that must be completed.
At Labofine, our government-accredited laboratory can help you with every aspect of your nutraceutical product testing. Learn more about our methods below and contact our team with any questions you may have.
Microbiology Reports
As one common trait of nutraceutical products is their nourishing food component, it is important to have microbiology reports performed. This type of product testing service encompasses the following:
- Microbial limit tests
- Total plate counts of pathogenic bacteria (Listeria, Salmonella, E Coli O157: H7, gram-positive staphylococci, etc.)
- Antimicrobial preservative effectiveness testing
- Identifying organisms (bacteria, yeasts, and molds)
- Microbiological Testing for the detection of pathogenic bacteria
- Bacterial endotoxin testing
- Microbial assays for antibiotics
- Developing microbiological methods and research projects
Elemental Analysis by ICP-MS
Heavy metal testing is essential for producing the purest nutraceutical products possible. At Labofine, we test for these using ICP-MS due to its immaculate advantages:
- Has the lowest detection to ppb and ppt levels
- Allows small volumes to be quantified easily
- Contains less waste to dispose of
- Has definitive, multiple isotope identification (less prone to interferences)
- Provides a rapid screening method for real pharmaceutical samples
- Provides a fully quantitative analysis
Pesticides Analysis
Pesticides are a potential contaminant in nutraceuticals, and their presence can pose a serious health risk. Pesticides analysis can help to identify and quantify the presence of these contaminants and help to ensure that products are safe for consumption. At Labofine, we the USP and EP methods to test for pesticides in your nutraceuticals providing the analysis you need for your consumers.
Method Development and Validation
There are a few key reasons why method development and validation are so important in nutraceutical testing. Firstly, it is essential to ensure that the methods used to test nutraceuticals are accurate and precise to obtain reliable results. Secondly, validation helps to ensure that the methods used are fit for purpose and are suitable for the intended use. Finally, method development and validation help to ensure that the nutraceuticals are safe for human consumption. At Labofine, our scientists are experienced in validating all kinds of procedures and other analytical techniques, including, but not limited to:
- Titration and colorimetric techniques
- Headspace GC/MS
- HPLC and et IC
