Ingredient Identification
Ingredients are promises we make to consumers
A world-class product begins with world-class ingredients. Celmark employs a wide array of methodologies to verify that the ingredients we use meet or exceed the highest standards for identity, potency, quality and purity.
The Celmark Quality Control Laboratory performs analytical testing of raw materials in our in-house cGMP/GLP-compliant facility. Our team of qualified and experienced scientists provide fast turnaround and reliable results.
When ingredients arrive at Celmark they are placed under quarantine until we can determine that they are accurately labeled and meet specifications. All incoming raw materials are subject to initial identification testing via spectroscopy (FTNIR or FTIR) or chromatography (HPLC or TLC) and comparison to an approved library standard or reference standard. Further ingredient-specific identification testing is conducted where appropriate, such as genetic ID testing for probiotics and DNA barcoding for crude botanicals.
In addition to identification, raw materials may also be subject to screening for the presence of adulterants, solvents, pesticides or heavy metals.
Quantitative chemical analysis and microbiological tests are conducted on all incoming receipts of raw materials.
