Sphere’s commitment to leadership in quality manufacture features an extensive, modern analytical capability including 2 large scale laboratories together with various “in-process” laboratories for testing goods in manufacture.
Our laboratories are staffed with a large team of expert chemists and technical specialists who test incoming materials, in-process manufacture & finished product to stringent Australian TGA & GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) regulatory guidelines. Materials and finished products can not be released for sale unless they comply with these uncompromising test specifications and standards. The laboratories are comprehensively equipped to current industry standards, utilising modern equipment such as: - High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with PDA
- High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC)
- Gas Chromatography (GC) with FID and headspace capability
- Atomic Absorbtion Spectrophotometry (AA)
Laboratory facilities include a specialist herb testing centre. Drawing on an extensive library of botanically authenticated reference standards and herbal intellectual property, we are a recognized Australian leader in botanical identification, quantification, method development and validation. These laboratory technologies leverage off a strong foundation of classical chemistry capability utilizing equipment including: - Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
- Polarimeter
- UV/VIS Spectrophotometer
- Gel Texture analyzer
- Refractometer
Our laboratories also offer a range of technical services on a contract basis covering: - Routine and investigative chemical analysis
- Method development and validation
- New compound research
- Botanical analysis
- R&D project services
- Stability testing
