Herbal, Ayurvedic & Nutraceutical Products
Marker Compound Assay, Heavy Metals & Botanical Purity Screening
Satvam Research provides comprehensive quality and safety testing for Herbal, Ayurvedic, and Nutraceutical manufacturers. Operating under AYUSH and FSSAI testing criteria, our Vapi laboratory performs active biomarker quantification by HPLC, trace toxic heavy metals testing (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury) by ICP-OES, microbial enumeration, pesticide residue screening, and aflatoxin analysis.
Herbal & Nutraceuticals Highlights
Meeting Global Standards in Herbal & Nutraceuticals
Botanical formulations and dietary supplements face increasing regulatory scrutiny regarding raw herb authenticity, adulteration, and environmental contamination. Satvam Research ensures that raw botanical consignments and finished formulations meet domestic pharmacopoeial (Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India) and international export requirements.
Key Governing Specifications & Pharmacopoeias
Every test certificate (CoA) issued by Satvam Research undergoes dual-level scientific validation with complete electronic record archives.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Regulatory guidelines, turnaround times, and sample handling for Herbal & Nutraceuticals
QWhat heavy metal limits apply to Ayurvedic products under AYUSH guidelines?
Under AYUSH norms, permissible limits are: Lead (10 ppm), Arsenic (3 ppm), Cadmium (0.3 ppm), and Mercury (1 ppm). Our ICP-OES provides sub-ppm sensitivity ensuring unequivocal compliance verification.
QCan Satvam Research quantify specific active biomarkers in polyherbal formulations?
Yes. Our chromatography scientists develop and validate HPLC and UV methods for specific chemical markers such as Curcumin, Piperine, Withaferin A, Sennosides, and Boswellic acids.
