Botanical & Dietary Supplement Testing
Testing for ingredient suppliers, formulators, manufacturers, brands, and product developers—from raw botanical material through finished product.
Identity, potency, targeted phytochemistry, contaminants, microbiology, stability, and method support can be brought together around the product and its specification.

Botanical materials are naturally variable. Species, plant part, source, extraction, formulation, and storage can all change what a useful test needs to answer.
What a testing program may include
The best combination depends on the ingredient, finished format, target market, and the claim or specification you need to evaluate.
Identity & authenticity
Work for raw materials, powders, extracts, and finished supplements when a suitable identity approach is available.
Potency & target compounds
Quantitative measurement of selected constituents with reporting suited to the material and product form.
Contaminants
Elemental impurities, pesticide residues, residual solvents, mycotoxins, or named adulterants as the ingredient and process require.
Microbiology
Enumeration, specified-organism detection, and separately scoped molecular methods for the product and intended use.
Stability
Study support built around storage conditions, pull points, potency, degradation, microbiology, and customer specifications.
Discuss a stability studyMethod support
Selection, adaptation, troubleshooting, or development when a routine method does not fit the compound or matrix.
We confirm the method, matrix, reporting basis, sample requirements, and accreditation status for the exact work before testing begins.

Each of the 10 profile families lists its analytes and operating details. Choose the closest family, or contact us when the compounds you need are not listed.
Mitragyna Alkaloids
Choose five named targets for a focused specification or 11 for broader Mitragyna alkaloid composition and material comparison.
Phytocannabinoids
Measure acidic and neutral cannabinoids together to characterize potency and processing-related composition.
Kavalactones and Flavokawains
Characterize kava potency and composition through six major kavalactones, with flavokawains A, B, and C quantified for safety-oriented screening.
Ashwagandha Withanolides
Measure eight named withanolide and withanoside markers for ingredient potency and extract or finished-product composition.
Sceletium Alkaloids
Measure four named Sceletium alkaloids for active-constituent potency, extract standardization, and product composition.
Magnolia Bark Lignans
Measure magnolol, honokiol, and 4′-O-methylhonokiol for magnolia bark ingredient potency and composition.
Akuamma Alkaloids
Measure akuammine and pseudoakuammigine for active-alkaloid composition, supplier comparison, and material qualification.
Lotus Alkaloids
Measure five named alkaloids across sacred-lotus and blue-water-lily materials without implying species identity.
Rhodiola Glycosides
Measure salidroside plus rosin, rosarin, and rosavin across Rhodiola materials while preserving species-specific interpretation.
Cordyceps Nucleosides
Measure cordycepin, adenosine, and HEA across fungal and cultured materials while preserving species and production context.

How a project comes together
A useful quote starts with the botanical, the finished format, and the decision the result needs to support.
Describe the material
Include species or common name, plant part, extraction or processing, formulation, target market, and timing.
Agree on the work
We confirm analytes or organisms, method, reporting basis, sample quantity, and any matrix constraints.
Receive a clear quote
The final scope, timing, and price reflect the work agreed with the laboratory.
Names matter, but so do source, processing, and formulation. Include both the botanical identity and the physical product you plan to submit.
State method and reporting requirements up front
If a particular method, limit, decision rule, accreditation statement, or report format matters, include it with the request. We will confirm what applies to the exact activity.

Review Quality InformationQuestions before requesting a quote
What products can I submit?
Raw materials, extracts, capsules, tablets, gummies, powders, and liquid supplements may be suitable. We confirm the method and matrix before accepting the work.
How is a testing panel selected?
Share the material, ingredients, processing, target market, requested compounds or organisms, and reporting goal. We will match those details to the available methods.
Can you help with a difficult matrix or method?
Yes. Send the material and the question for review. We will tell you whether an existing method fits or a custom approach should be considered.
How do I request pricing and timing?
Use the quote form and include the matrix, processing context, requested tests, sample count, available quantity, deadline, and any method or reporting requirements.
