The classic single marker compound approach often is not sufficient to evaluate the true quality or identity of the particular botanical sample being investigated.
Microscopic analysis has a long tradition in the proof of identity and purity of crude drugs.
To date it plays a minor role or is even neglected in favor of complex and expensive chemical analytical methods. This allows us to accurately authenticate, identify, characterize and fingerprint botanicals, as well as evaluate the specimens for adulteration, filth, contamination, decomposition and overall quality. We have a significant advantage over many in-house and independent laboratories due to the fact that we are able to use all of our previously taken microscopic images for future reference and comparison to unknown test samples.
