Research & Development has been pivotal in the development of Indian Herbs. Continuous high level research helped in developing many unique products particularly in those segments where modern system of medicine does not provide satisfactory solutions and similarly not much has been offered, so far, by alternative sytems of medicine. More than 100 scientists have been awarded higher degrees (post-graduate or doctorate) for outstanding research studies on these herbal products and more than 400 research papers have been published on these products in the eminent national and international scientific journals.The dynamic team of scientists includes Pharmacists, Chemists, Botanists, Microbiologists, Pharmacologists, Medical Scientists, Veterinarians and Clinicians etc. in different departments such as Pharmacology, Formulation, Phytochemistry, Microbiology, Quality Control, Literature Survey, Animal House and Experimental Farms for different research studies.

The level of sophistication and capabilities of the laboratory attained greater heights with the installation of most modern and sophisticated instruments such as:

• High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) consisting of 
  "Linomat IV" microprocessor-controlled TLC sampler and computer-controlled HPTLC Scanner.
• High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph with PDA (HPlC) consisting of ultra modern Photodiode Array Detector coupled with powerful software Millennium 2010 and sophisticated solvent delivery system.
• Gas Chromatograph, Mass Spectrometry 

• UV-VIS Scanning Spectrophotometer etc. 

Recognition of R & D Laboratory In realisation of the achievements our R&D Laboratory, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Government of India has granted it recognition and formal certification for modern scientific research on herbal products - the first of its kind in India.Standardisation and Quality Control "Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skilful execution."
-John RuskinRelentless pursuit of this dictum has ensured the quality of our products. Quality control of Herbal Ingredients An essential factor in the assembly of any herbal product is the availability of quantitatively standardised herbal ingredients. The complex nature of the components and active ingredients mixed with helper or synergistic compounds without an active role make actual identification of the active ingredients difficult. This does not, however, preclude scientific standardisation of any particular herbal preparation. An outline of quality control techniques employed by us is given below.Identification and Authenticity of Plant Material All our herbal ingredients meet the Quality Control standards, set for each particular ingredient. Our scientists select the best herbal materials from chosen locations, harvest at the optimum time and ensure the correct post-harvest treatment and storage. Our Quality Assurance (QA) Laboratory preserves and maintains a Specimen and Database containing full information of all plant species used by Indian Herbs. Every herbal ingredient is authenticated by the experts, involving both macroscopic and microscopic examination of each plant material.
