DNA & Chromatographic Testing in Pharmaceutical Capsule Verification

Pharmaceutical manufacturers encounter rigorous scrutiny when formulating oral dosage forms for global Muslim patient populations. Gelatin is the predominant film-forming polymer for both hard and soft capsules, making source verification paramount.

The Challenge of Hydrolyzed Gelatin

During gelatin manufacturing, animal collagens undergo aggressive thermal and chemical processing, often degrading DNA strands into microscopic fragments. Standard immunological tests frequently yield false negatives.

Real-Time Quantitative PCR (qPCR)

Our accredited laboratories employ targeted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) amplification primers capable of detecting porcine residual fractions down to 0.01% concentrations, even in heavily processed excipients.

By coupling molecular analysis with supply chain chain-of-custody audits, certified pharmaceutical companies achieve immediate export approvals across international ministries of health.
