The Quality Assurance (QA) function is an integral part of any pharmaceutical production process. All QA personnel work very closely together to ensure compliance with the global standards that are demanded by our customers.

Vasu Healthcare gives more emphasis on checking the quality of natural herbs right from crude material to finished product to ensure the supply of only high quality product in the market. Quality is the essence of high intentions, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. We know that in current competitive world there are hundreds of thousands of option available but our quality makes us stand apart and first choice among many alternatives.

We have the capability to undertake analysis of almost all parameters that are required under the food laws of every country. Essential good laboratory practices including safety, cleanliness and hygiene are strictly enforced. Standard Operating Procedures, approved record-keeping and documentation procedures for method validation are carefully maintained and in absence of internationally acceptable testing protocols for analyzing herbal extracts and allied products, many of the testing methods used by us have been developed in-house and are validated with an analytical certificate.

A very comprehensive database of results is maintained to enable proper traceability. Process begins with selecting herbs from our network of herb growers of the right quality followed by its pharmacognostic evaluation for strength and efficacy. Dried herbs are then specially weaned and sometimes treated to enhance its quality.

Herbs are extracted to obtain standardized extracts and phytochemicals are isolated from it in specially designed state-of-art extraction plant to isolate and enrich extracts for active constituents.

The basic challenge in the development of effective herbal extract & phytochemicals is identification of sterilized crude herbs so that the consumer can always be sure of the therapeutic efficacy. To achieve maximum efficacy, and to ensure the superior quality of our products, we follow three stages of Quality Control. They are:

This includes all the possible tests like Organolaptic tests (that includes color, structure, shape, size etc.) Physical Tests (includes loss on drying, Ash value, etc.) Chemical Tests (includes Identification & Assay of Alkaloids, Glycosides, Terpenoids, etc.) Microscopic Tests (includes cellular structure, Stomatal Index, etc,) wherever applicable.

Various in-process quality control tests are being performed during the production operation to keep a check on to the quality of the finished products.

• Wide range of testing parameters is being applied to the finished product so as to offer consistent quality, uniform therapeutic efficacy and less batch to batch variation.
• HPLC and other chromatographic analysis are being done to check the quality of our extracts and other products.
• We are performing Physical Tests (like solubility, Loss on drying, Ash value, ph value, etc), along with Chemical, Gravimetric & Titramatric Analysis to perform Assay of the Finished Products.
• We also perform "Thin Layer Chromatography" along with "Heavy Metal Test" that is a pharmacopeial necessity.
• All the extracts manufactured are tested microbiologically to check the presence or absence of pathogens. Pathogens such as E.coli, S.aureus, S.typhosa, Pseudomonas are tested.
• We also give a Quality Control Report that can be confirmed at your end.

Once a product has been produced, it undergoes a series of tests to assure consistency, quality and potency. The finished product is audited by inspector for bulk weight, liquid volume, plate count, bottle sealing and legible lot number, sample are then given to the Quality assurance labs, so that scientists can complete testing according to finished product specification.

After all the processes have been completed and the product has passed the inspection QA will release the product. The batch record and a sample of the finished product are retained for future reference. If a customer has a question about a product QA can refer to the retention sample of the lot in question.
