PhytoLab’s Services

Quality testing is a key component of quality assurance for all herbal products, as identity, purity, potency, and stability are indispensable parameters to ensure efficacy and safety. PhytoLab’s experienced team uses world-class technology — from classical pharmacognosy methods to state-of-the-art instrumental analyses — offering a wide range of options for testing your raw materials and products.

Statutory requirements and consumer expectations demand the highest levels of reliability and experience in the analysis of residues and contaminants in herbal products. PhytoLab offers a comprehensive range of services concerning the analysis and evaluation of pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals and numerous other substances, also in highly sensitive product groups, such as organic foodstuffs and baby food.

The ever-increasing requirements related to proving the quality, efficacy/effect, and safety of herbal products, foodstuffs or animal nutrition are preconditions for market access and marketability. We create custom solutions and tend to our customers’ projects during all phases of design, planning, implementation, and lifecycle management.

The professional handling of safety information concerning herbal products requires medical and toxicological expertise, regulatory know-how, and deep knowledge of all aspects of herbal product quality. Our experts will provide you with a holistic evaluation for products already on the market or in the design and development phase.

As a leading global manufacturer, PhytoLab offers over 1,500 comprehensively documented ultrapure herbal reference substances — from A for absinthin to Z for ziyuglycoside. We also draw up primary standard documentation for marketing authorization dossiers of phytopharmaceuticals. Upon request and based on your specifications, we can isolate and qualify plant-based compounds as reference substances.

Solutions for the Industry

Dried herb preparations are used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), as flavoring agents and dyes in foodstuffs, for the enhancement of human physiological functions in food supplements, functional foods, and as zootechnical additives in animal nutrition, as well as in many other applications. All of these products must meet specific technical requirements for their plant-derived ingredients and the methods used to extract and test them, based on their intended use. They are also subject to product-specific regulatory standards. They all share the complexity of plant-based matrices and require specialized know-how in order to successfully tackle the technical, scientific, and regulatory challenges.

PhytoLab is the leader in lab services for manufacturers of phytopharmaceutical, homeopathic, and anthroposophic products containing plant-derived active substances. Customers from the medicinal products sector trust PhytoLab‘s long-standing experience and unique phyto-expertise. PhytoLab provides optimal solutions to quality, efficacy and safety issues, from registration or authorization based on known active substances to the development of new products.

PhytoLabis a market-leader in lab testing services for residues and contaminants in the dried botanicals and derived ingredients. From classic black or green tea and herbal/fruit infusions to extracts for ready-to-use drinks or instant beverages, herbal ingredients for these product groups must meet the highest purity criteria. PhytoLab‘s cutting-edge equipment, best-in-class analytical expertise and deep regulatory knowledge, is an experienced and reliable partner to our customers in tackling this increasingly difficult task.

Food for infants and toddlers is among the most sensitive of all products and is obviously subject to particularly strict statutory requirements. Procurement and production management and control require excellence in the generation and evaluation of analytical results. Reputable baby-food manufacturers have trusted PhytoLab‘s services for many years.

Manufacturers of hearbal health products face a choice between various potential commercial forms as a given formulation may often be suitable for several of these categories, including food supplements, food for special medical purposes (FSMP) and certain classes of medical devices. Identifying the most suitable commercial form influences the selection of herbal ingredients, the definition of the specifications, the safety documentation, the requirements concerning proof of efficacy (medical products) or effect (food supplements and FSMPs), and it is ultimately crucial to sustained market success.

EU regulations on animal nutrition are no less comprehensive or strict than those for food for human consumption. There are many similarities in these two sectors in terms of residues and contaminants relevant to quality and safety. Zootechnical additives are increasingly being extracted from plants that are also used in phytopharmaceuticals, herbal and fruit infusions or spices. As a result, a growing number of customers from the animal nutrition industry are also relying on PhytoLab‘s expertise in testing and evaluating the quality and safety of herbal preparations.
