Ash Testing

Ash testing plays a vital role in evaluating the purity, safety, and mineral content of dietary supplements. By accurately measuring the inorganic residue left after incineration, ash testing helps ensure that your products meet regulatory standards, maintain label accuracy, and deliver the highest quality to consumers.

Alfa Chemistry offers reliable and comprehensive ash testing services designed specifically for the dietary supplements industry.

Accurate and Reliable Methodology

At Alfa Chemistry, our ash testing procedures strictly follow internationally recognized standards. Using precision-controlled muffle furnaces, samples are incinerated at 500 °C to 600 °C, completely removing organic material. The remaining inorganic residue (ash) is carefully cooled, weighed, and reported as a percentage of the original sample.

Our specialized services include:

• Total Ash Testing: Evaluate total mineral content and detect potential adulteration.
• Acid-Insoluble Ash Testing: Identify sand, dirt, or other insoluble contaminants.
• Water-Insoluble Ash Testing: Ensure product purity for botanical and herbal supplements.
• Sulfated Ash Testing: Confirm inorganic content after oxidation, essential for pharmaceutical-grade supplements.

Each test provides critical insights into your product's composition, ensuring it meets both consumer expectations and regulatory requirements.

Why Ash Testing Matters for Supplements

Ash content directly impacts product quality. Elevated ash levels can signal contamination, poor raw material sourcing, or non-compliance with regulatory specifications. By investing in regular ash testing, supplement brands can:

• Strengthen product claims
• Avoid costly recalls
• Build trust with health-conscious consumers
• Streamline global market access
