VRC is also engaged in developing new herbal and Ayurvedic formulations by employing original Ayurvedic principles along with modern scientific research data right together. To achieve the best quality and consistency in each new product which is believed to be the most critical requirement for any medicinal products, VRC performs extensive experiments before introducing them in to the market. Each new single or polyherbal formulation is screened through stringent quality control parameters like physicochemical parameters, stability as well as other phytochemical profiling. With the help of modern pharmaceutical facilities, new formulations are developed in various dosage forms like capsules, tablets, creams, ointments, oils, syrups and granules.
Process Improvement & Standardization
We provide complete standardization of product manufacturing process as well as their QC analysis. We also offer standardization and validation of QC analytical methods to achieve minimum batch to batch variation. As a part of contract research collaboration all such details are as technology transfer documents.
Patented Product Development
One of our focused areas is the basic research on Ayurvedic herbs and poly-herbal formulations. These research areas include Phytochemical, Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical and many others. We are developing patents for the novel products, dosage form, manufacturing process etc.
Product Standardization
Standardization is the most essential part for any formulation in order to achieve the batch to batch quality consistency. We provide complete standardization right from raw material to finished product.
Standardization of Ayurvedic products includes various steps like
*
Evaluation of the quality and purity of crude materials by means of various parameters like morphological, microscopical, physical, chemical and biological.
*
Comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for manufacturing process
*
Chromatographic and Spectroscopic Evaluation
*
Analysis of Finished product that includes
» Organoleptic Description
» Physicochemical parameters
» Chromatographic and Spectroscopic Evaluation
» Determination of Heavy metals
» Determination of Pesticide Residue
» Microbial contamination and afflatoxin
Technical tie-ups with Technology Transfer
We take up the projects for process development, product improvement and patentable product development by technical tie-up with various private and government research institutes. Under the MOU (Memorandum of Understating) we transfer the technology to our clientele.
Dossier/ Documentation for Regulatory Affairs
As per the guideline of different countries and according to the customer’s requirement, we provide complete service in performing the regulatory procedures right from dossier preparation to document submission.
Isolation, Purification and Identification of Markers
Standardization of herbal formulation is very important and necessary now a day. To assess the quality of the herbal products, phytoconstituents / marker compounds is very important tools.
Isolation of biomarkers and chemical markers is helpful to create a ‘marker library’ which will be helpful to standardize the polyherbal formulation. To fulfill the requirement of standardization and identification of active compounds in polyherbal formulation, we focused on purification and identification of markers which is very essential for herbal based industries.
Development of NCE from Herbal Source
As per the requirement of the customer (Industrial or Government organization) we target the herbal sources to develop the NCE for required therapeutic segments.
Contract Research Collaboration
We do tie up with clientele organization under contract research collaboration where our majorly offered services are
*
Monograph preparation
*
Stability study
*
New product development and technology transfer
*
Marker isolation, purification and identification
*
Development of new herbal active compounds
