cGMP for the botanical industry - mandated for the USA but expected to impact worldwide!

In June, the US FDA published cGMP for Dietary Supplements. For the botanical industry this is a fundamental step toward consistently ensuring the quality and safety of its product.

From an analytical point of view cGMP includes that each raw material must be tested for identity. Also purity and potency have to be determined. For this, appropriate and scientifically sound testing methods should be employed. High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) is the analytical tool of choice when it comes to rapid and reliable identification, detection of adulteration, and the establishment of batch to batch consistency and shelf-life of products. CAMAG, the experts for solutions based on HPTLC provides all what you need for this technique.
