LTC laboratory services include chemistry, microbiology, physical, and botanical research supporting authentication of source and derived materials as well as substantiating claims. We determine actives and markers using GMP and research methods of analysis, and we gauge potency relative to specifications. LTC develops and adapts methods for product evaluation, comparison, and development. We perform inspections and studies for process development. We also offer product distribution trials including small-scale processing, packaging, and distribution.

LTC is alert to the changing requirements and definitions of FDA, USDA, EPA, NSF, ASTM, and other national and international regulatory and standards-setting agencies and associations. Our consulting research, processing, and analytical activities are advised by, but not limited to, the current regulatory climate which may shift again tomorrow.
