Microbial Testing for Ayurvedic Products India | NABL
Auriga Research provides NABL-accredited microbial testing for Ayurvedic products covering total aerobic count, yeast and mould enumeration, pathogen absence testing, and aflatoxin analysis. Microbial contamination is a primary quality concern for herbal medicines, as botanical raw materials are inherently susceptible to microbial colonisation during cultivation, drying, and storage.
Our testing follows AYUSH GMP guidelines, Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India specifications, WHO guidelines for herbal medicines, and Indian Pharmacopoeia methods. We test raw herbs, extracts, churnas, asavas, arishtas, bhasmas, and finished Ayurvedic, Unani, and Siddha formulations for microbial quality and mycotoxin safety.
AYUSH manufacturing licences require batch-wise microbial testing as part of GMP compliance. Export markets including the EU and US apply strict microbial limits to herbal imports. Our rapid turnaround supports both quality release and regulatory submission timelines.
