How it works

HPUS monographs are specific to each material. They set the characteristics, identification and, where applicable, quantitative tests for a starting material or preparation. Characteristics and identification give a match or conformance result; a quantitative test gives a number. Tell us the monograph and whether the sample is a starting material, a tincture or another preparation, so the tests are run as that monograph sets them.

Tests offered

HPUS characteristics testing

Observes the properties the HPUS monograph describes for your material, such as appearance, color and odor, and for a tincture any characteristics the monograph lists, and compares them with that description. The result is a record of what was observed and whether it matches the monograph.

HPUS chemistry identification test

Runs the identification procedure that the HPUS monograph names for your starting material or preparation. Identification procedures differ between monographs, for example a chemical reaction or a comparison with a reference, so the procedure is the one in your material’s monograph. The result is conforms or does not conform; it is not a quantity.

HPUS UV/Vis quantification test

Where the monograph's quantitative test is by UV/Vis, a solution of the sample is prepared as the monograph directs and its absorbance is measured at the stated wavelength; the amount is calculated against the reference or calibration the procedure uses. The result is a number, reported against the monograph's requirement.

Sending samples

Send the material sealed and labeled with its monograph name.

Tell us the monograph, the form of the sample and the tests you need. We confirm the sample amount at quote.
