Herbal formulations have reached extensive acceptability as therapeutic as well as nutritional agents. Hence, the need for development of authentic analytical methods which can reliably profile the phytochemical composition, including quantitative analysis and testing of marker/bioactive compounds and other major constituents, is a major challenge to the corporate sector to cater to the above needs. THS has set up a laboratory which is fully equipped with skilled, trained, technical manpower for testing of herbal and nutraceutical products.

Physiochemical analysis often plays important role in drug standarization.These tests are simple and quick to perform and give valuable information about the nature and purity of a drug. Physiochemical analysis included a vast range of services such as :

The activity of any herb is dependent on the class of phytoconstituents or specific phytoconstituents being present in it. In majority, of the herbals which are in use the knowledge about these is fairly known. Therefore, it is necessary to devise a method of standardization based upon the presence of these chemicals. These chemicals are broadly categorized into two groups’ viz. Product of primary metabolites and secondary metabolites.

THS provides Qualitative as well as quantitative phytochemical analysis for determination of powder, raw herb, extract or formulation for detection of primary and secondary metabolites such as :
