Why does our flexible scope accreditation set us so far apart? There are almost 400,000 vascular plants on earth (that we know of), not including algae or fungus, which we also test. Of those 400,000 there are about 2,000 Herbs of Commerce traded and we test nearly all of them using Microscopy, HPTLC, HPLC, and GC. If it’s an herb we don’t have in our reference library for comparison yet, we utilize an extensive network of botanists around the globe to locate, procure and prepare reference materials to add to our ever-growing herbarium.
It’s important to ask the scope of the accreditation a testing lab touts since it could be for something like pH testing, and may be irrelevant to your needs.
