Quality Countrol

Sun Ten implements strict quality control starting from the raw herb materials received to manufacturing processes in order to ensure the safety, consistency and efficiency of every batch of our products. All herbs are authenticated by botanists. TLC is used for qualitative analysis, and HPLC is applied for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Herbs and finished products are regularly tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiological contamination to ensure products safety. We use HPLC analysis to identify the active constituents found in the herbs, so of now, Sun Ten has isolated the active constitutes of over 80 plants. HPLC qualitative/quantitative analyses have shown great consistency amongst multiple batches of Sun Ten products.
