The BioNetwork Natural Products Laboratory (NPL) offers analytical testing services for medicinal herbs.

Our services help customers meet current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for dietary supplements. These analyses are preformed using High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC) and/or Mass Spectrometry (MS).

The NPL’s goal is to provide quality constituent quantification in addition to identification and speciation of select herbs. We strive to provide this service at an affordable price with a fast turnaround time and excellent customer service.

Additionally we offer several courses covering cGMP basics, documentation, conducting investigations, quality control, laboratory operations, management responsibilities and hands on cGMP training.

We also provide rentable lab space for individuals and companies interested in product research, testing and development.
