Quality Control Laboratories

ANPMA’s quality control laboratories are equipped with advanced instruments to analyze and verify the quality of raw materials, extracts, and finished products.

  • Equipment and Capabilities:
    • Liquid and Gas Chromatography (HPLC, GC): For precise analysis of active compounds present in plant extracts.
    • Spectroscopy: Used to identify and quantify chemical components.
    • Microbiology Equipment: To detect and measure microorganisms potentially present in the products.

Quality Control Procedures

ANPMA’s quality control procedures are designed to ensure compliance with both national and international standards.

  • Raw Material Control:
    • Supplier Selection and Validation: Raw material suppliers are evaluated and approved according to strict quality criteria.
    • Receiving Inspection: Each batch of raw materials is inspected and tested for compliance with established specifications.
  • In-Process Control:
    • Intermediate Controls: Samples are taken at different stages of production to ensure compliance and prevent deviations.
    • Stability Testing: Products under development undergo stability tests to evaluate their performance over time and under different environmental conditions.
  • Finished Product Control:
    • Finished Product Testing: Each batch of finished products is tested to ensure it meets quality and safety specifications.
    • Batch Release: Finished products are released for distribution only after passing all required quality control tests.
