Why Pharmaceutical & Herbal Testing is Crucial

Traditional herbs and pharmaceutical products are susceptible to various forms of contamination during cultivation, harvesting, and manufacturing. Testing ensures:

Compliance

Meeting MOH MAL registration standards.

Safety

Identifying toxic heavy metals and harmful microbes.

Quality

Verifying the presence of active ingredients and product stability.

Our Core Testing Parameters

Following international pharmacopoeia standards such as USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and BP (British Pharmacopoeia), MYCO2 provides:

1. Chemical & Heavy Metal Analysis

Herbal products can often absorb minerals from the soil. We test for:

  • Mercury (Hg)
  • Arsenic (As)
  • Lead (Pb)
  • Cadmium (Cd)

2. Microbiological Screening

To prevent spoilage and ensure consumer safety, we screen for:

  • Total Plate Count (TPC)
  • Yeast & Mold Count
  • Pathogens (E. coli, Salmonella, Enterobacteriaceae)

3. Stability & Shelf-Life Studies

We adopt BPFK methodologies to conduct accelerated shelf-life testing, ensuring your medicine or supplement remains effective throughout its expiration period.

We verify that traditional herbs are not illegally spiked with synthetic drugs or antibiotics, protecting your brand from legal and health risks.
