Quality Control Testing

Product quality are evaluated by the following tests

  • Appearance (powder, after dissolving)
  • Loss on drying
  • pH (after dissolving)
  • Osmotic pressure (after dissolving)
  • Cell culture test
  • Endotoxin test
  • Microbial limit testing (TAMC: NMT 100cfu/g, TYMC: NMT 20cfu/g)
  • Mycoplasma

Result of Analysis is available for prototype.

Testing includes Appearance, Solubility, pH and Osmolality.
TAMC/TYMC, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma and Cell culture are optional, requiring more lead-time to the delivery.

Manufacturing Flow

Weighing is a process to measure the designated ingredients precisely with appropriate scales, which are periodically calibrated.
Pulverizing is a process to make uniform and stablesize of particles. Use specific pulverizer/mill for pulverizing process based on the characteristics of ingredient (e.g. trace elements) and scale of production. Mixing processis crucial for ensuring uniformity of intermediate products. According to characteristics of ingredients and to production scales, separated pre-mixing procedures are employed in the overall process.
Sieving process is a technique for prevention of foreign material contamination according to size. 2 mm- and 1 mm- sized sieves are used sequentially.
Final mixing is a process to assure the uniformity of products.
Packaging is done according to the requested quantity and packaging volumes, by using automatic filling equipment. Also labelling is proceeded.
