Exogenous Substances Testing of Herbal Medicines
Inquiry
The safety of herbs is affected by both exogenous and endogenous residues, which if not properly controlled, can lead to incidents of harm to human health. These include pesticide residues, heavy metals, fungal toxins, and microorganisms. Lifeasible has established efficient and sensitive analytical methods and detection techniques for exogenous harmful substances such as heavy metals, pesticide residues, and mycotoxins and supports you in the comprehensive application of quality control of herbal materials, powders, and tablets.
We can determine a wide range of pesticide residues in different herbal materials using various methods. The pesticide species that can be determined cover most of the pesticide species used in production, and the samples cover herbal materials, powders, tea beverages, and other species with high precision and accuracy.
Heavy metals are one of the most significant harmful contaminants in herbal medicines, and accurate determination of heavy metal content in herbs is essential to evaluate their contamination and quality. We offer a variety of methods to determine heavy metals, including Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cu, and other heavy metals in herbs.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi. Proper mycotoxin testing is an essential tool to prevent such problems. We can provide mycotoxin testing for Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium, and aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, and zearalenone, etc.
The wide variety of herbal preparations and tablets from a wide range of sources carry their micro-organisms, which when improperly processed, can easily lead to microbial multiplication, pathogenic bacterial load, and toxin accumulation, which can seriously affect the quality and safety of medicines. To address this situation, we offer a wide range of samples, including microbial counts and control bacteria, for herbal materials, herbal tablets, and preparations.
Pesticide residues, heavy metals and harmful elements, mycotoxins, microorganisms, and other exogenous harmful substances in herbal medicines are complex, diverse, and usually trace amounts, which cause chronic cumulative toxicity to humans. Lifeasible is actively developing and improving active ingredient assays, multi-component assays, and characterization/fingerprinting techniques, as well as exploring bioactivity evaluation methods to help you improve the overall control of herbal medicine effectiveness.
