Identity
Botanical identity and organoleptic verification of incoming and finished material.
Quality at CTA is built on an in-house analytical laboratory, documented test methods and a stack of internationally recognised certifications.
CTA operates an in-house analytical laboratory so that identity, assay and safety testing happen under the company's own control — not outsourced and not assumed. No batch is released to a customer until it has been tested and documented.
Our laboratory's instrument list and method scope span the standard analytical programme expected of a standardised-extract manufacturer, summarised below.
Botanical identity and organoleptic verification of incoming and finished material.
Active-marker assay by HPLC, UV, GC, gravimetry and titration.
Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury screening against pharmacopoeial limits.
Total plate count, yeast & mould, and pathogen screening.
Pesticide-residue screening against IP / USP / EP limits.
Residual-solvent testing for solvent-extracted grades.
Certificate of Analysis, specification sheet and MSDS for every product.
Batch-to-farm traceability for backward-integrated raw materials.
Backward integration →Instrument list (HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, FTIR, Karl Fischer and others) and full method scope confirmed on each batch Certificate of Analysis.
