ChromaDex, Alkemists Pharmaceuticals Team Up

ChromaDex, Inc., Irvine, CA, has partnered with Alkemists Pharmaceuticals, Costa Mesa, CA, to increase the availability of Botanical Reference Materials (BRMs) for quality control and research of botanical-based extracts and products. BRMs are well-characterized reference materials for specific plants. The characterization of BRMs includes macro and microscopic information for a specific genus and species of plant, as well as Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) “fingerprints” of the botanical. BRMs give users the tools necessary to confirm their botanical raw material evaluation is comprehensive, while at the same time affording them the opportunity to begin assessment of the material’s composition.
