Stage Three

Standard Process' microbiologists perform bacterial testing on product batches to ensure the products are safe to continue on to the next stage of production. Our chemists perform assays on product batches to determine the nutrient content. These assays guarantee that our label claims are accurate and that maximum nutrition is being delivered.

Stage Four

Many tests are performed after the tableting and capsuling process, including:

Physical Tests

• Tablets are monitored for size, weight, water activity, and hardness.  Hardness testing ensures that tablets remain intact throughout the packaging and shipping process.
• Capsules are monitored for size, weight, and water activity.
• Powders are monitored for water activity.
• Weights of all products are verified to guarantee that label claims are met.

Microbiology Tests

• The microbiology laboratory monitors tablets, capsules, and powders for bacterial contamination before and after the bottling process.
